In a world where hierarchy rules and destiny is preordained, Lisa, a humble pawn, dares to dream the impossible—to reach the legendary Eighth Row and become a queen. But the White Queen's warning echoes ominously: "You can only be what you were made to be. A pawn can never be a queen." Or can she?

With his help, and the loyalty of her best friend, Knight Tomas, Lisa embarks on a treacherous journey across enemy lines. But in the shadows of the chessboard, loyalties are tested, truths are twisted, and a darkness looms—one that threatens to consume not just Lisa’s dream, but her very heart. Will Lisa defy fate and claim the crown she so desperately desires? Or will she fall prey to the darkness that comes with breaking the rules?
