The Eighth Row

Amir Rimer

A Chessboard Shrouded in Mystery. A Pawn's Forbidden Dream. A Battle for Identity and Power.
In the dead of night, under the silver gaze of the moon, the white chess pieces gather around their queen. Tension hangs heavy as the White Queen's voice slices through the silence: “There is a traitor among us.” Accusations fly, fear spreads, and the battlefield shivers under the weight of her words.
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?
When Lisa confesses her forbidden ambition, she expects exile, but what she finds is an ally in the unlikeliest of places—Knight Henry, whose defiance of tradition ignites a spark of hope. 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?
In a world where order is absolute and power is merciless, one pawn's courage could change everything... or destroy it.
Step into a world of intrigue, power, and the price of ambition.
"The Eighth Row" is a spellbinding allegory of identity, ambition, and the cost of breaking free. Perfect for fans of dark fairy tales and thought-provoking fables.
