After a frightening vision in which her father is murdered by a loup garou man, Brynn decides to prove herself by finding the killer, and stopping them at any cost. Her target is Rook McQueen, the son of a small-town loup garou Alpha. Despite being the youngest of three, Rook is first in line to inherit the role of Alpha, a duty he isn't sure he's capable of fulfilling. When Brynn finally meets Rook, she doesn't expect the attraction that draws her to him—and him to her. No longer believing him a murderer, Brynn and Rook strike an alliance to find her father's real killer.

But what happens when the game itself starts playing with the players and it is no longer apparent who is playing whom? GameOfChess is a gripping story of a chess match between two famous professors who contemplates the intricacies of the game and boast of their ultimate strategies of winning as they play the game. Things get more interesting when the game of chess itself starts interacting with the professors and comes out alive. As the professors try to understand the reasons for the events surrounding them, they happen to unravel some very deep mysteries about the fundamental laws of life, society and nature through their vivid dialogues and arguments. The truth that so comes out isn’t comforting to either of them. So should they focus on winning the game to satisfy their ego to each other, should they focus on placating the alive game which is going haywire, should they just run away or should they confront the stark truth facing them? And the alcohol and the drugs they are consuming continuously isn’t helping them either in making the choice. So, what choice will they ultimately make and who will win the game of chess?
