On a strange summer afternoon, in which unexpected and disturbing events collide, Alma, Drifter, Félix and Bella find themselves in a strange world. Can they get back to their own reality? How?
The ruler of the dark realm puts them to the test. You want to see how they handle unexpected situations. Can they make tough decisions? Are they capable of sacrifice? And in the end, will Alma prove to be a worthy opponent?
Judit Berg, József Attila and IBBY award-winning writer, creator of Rumini, and Judit Polgár, the best female chess player of all time, joined forces to tell their young readers a little about chess, but rather about life beyond chess. They have already experienced: nothing is black and white, not even on the chessboard, let alone in life, no one is absolutely good or absolutely evil.
You don't need to know how to play chess. Neither do Alma's peers. Yet, without them, Alma would surely be doomed...
