Jimmy Hooper, was an ordinary, even mediocre (in his own opinion) teenager, until the day he bought a chess set with seemingly supernatural qualities. The Greek goddess-like queen of the set repeatedly appears in his dreams, taking him to a magical realm inhabited by beautiful, peace-loving women calling themselves 'Mist Maidens.' But who are they? Are they just figments of Jimmy’s imagination? But then, why is Haydee, the sweet salesgirl Jimmy met in the game store, having strange dreams as well - Dreams that she is a space-traveling mermaid? And why does she seem incapable of ever getting sick or injured, as well as having super-human levels of empathy? Is there something truly supernatural going on, or is the mysterious 'chess queen' in fact a true visionary, whose innovations could literally change, not just Jimmy and Haydee’s lives, but the entire course of human history...? This unique, innovative novel by Dave Hardenbrook is half-science fiction, half-coming-of-age story, as Jimmy makes the journey from awkward teenager to bold champion and defender of a new, more peaceful and loving world, powered by technology that only a truly great woman could conceive... (Note: This book is marked 'Explicit' for mild narrative descriptions of partial nudity and the teenage protagonist’s budding sexuality.)
