Author's Notes

A quiet library, built in a large, abandoned castle. Thousands of books, covered cover to cover in words, stories, lives that haven't been lived in this realm. Fierce nights, seductive mermaids, beautiful queens, animal-like humans. Anything you could ever read, everything you could ever want to. And yet, this new librarian, Oliver Eastwood, is drawn to the chess boards. The simple, old, beat up chess boards near the check out. One night, he decides to play. He meets a friend because of this. A friend to alleviate the tedium of the labyrinth. It's enjoyable. For now, at least.

Join our dear friend Oliver as his relationship with his new friend unfolds over a series of chess games.
