Hunter's Command

A story about the world hiding inside a chessboard.

Hunter's room is a mess of scattered toys — until a dusty chessboard turns his everyday clutter into an epic adventure. One piece at a time, he discovers that every soldier, every knight, and every quiet pawn has a job worth doing.
