Chess

Two Pieces. One board. No rules.

Krede is a bishop, an elite assassin raised by an ancient, chess-like monastic syndicate to move with fluid, lethal silence. Veil is a Rook, a brilliant, clinical contract killer who doubles as a trained doctor, deployed by a rival faction to execute an eye-for-an-eye retaliation against Krede’s handlers.

When the grandmasters above turn the board into a trap, both pieces are captured. Using his unique physiology, Krede breaks free, forcing a cynical, detached Veil to abort his mission despite the rules of the game.

When a predatory new criminal syndicate emerges, the Grandmasters reset the board with an unprecedented mandate: the Rook and the Bishop must play under the same color.

Forced into a global partnership, Krede’s chaos turns into a calculated smokescreen, while Veil coordinates with underground networks. But the partnership fractures when Krede makes unsettling discoveries.

As their target flees across international borders, Veil must set up a high-stakes ballistic crossfire while Krede orchestrates a fiery, claustrophobic infiltration. Amidst gunfire and explosions, Veil must pull the ultimate trigger.
