Description
Time is like a chessboard. Its pieces are people engaged in an endless challenge between destiny and hope. At stake are their lives and every chess move could be the last one.
Above this “board”, set in a reality that at the same time is and is not our world, there is Indra Vr’ta, a professional flyballer struggling with a cruel trick he received by the gods who he trusts blindly. There is Selfant O’dinn, the Asgard Starfleet commander, forced to do zero-gravity boardings and battles because of the assaults of the pirates who infest the Solar System. There is Jeannette Finn, a telekinetic housewife trapped in a mental prison because of her rare gift, and there are many other characters. Every bishop and pawn, every knight and castle, not knowing it, is waiting for the most precious piece to enter.
Luna, the time traveller is about to arrive from the past and this is as certain as
death that accompanies her, and as certain as the love that leads her; nevertheless, the future that awaits her has already been determined by the Graal Kidnapper, and by his insane experiments.
The prophecy of the Chosen One is an inevitable curse that even she cannot avoid, cause and effect are the sovereign rules from which not even the queen of time can even escape.

Author Biography
Antonio Alvares was born in Catania. He has been travelling throughout Italy to follow his father and family, since he was a child.
In 2000 he left Piedmont and moved to Tuscany where he currently lives. He
attended high school and graduated in Law.
After law practice and his experience as an insurer, he now works at the University
of Pisa.
Writing is his passion, however, his many experiences in this field, have lead him to a conclusion: fantasy and science fiction are two faces of the same coin and it is
necessary to tell them both in order to reach the truth.
