Night of Kings. A Game with Destiny

For several centuries, the Chesterfield and St. Berrington families have been under a terrible curse. Now their estates have turned into boarding houses, yet the spell still hangs over the two aristocratic houses.
Alice arrives in Chesterfield, unaware of the secrets hidden behind the walls of the ancient academy. She intends to have a good summer, learn something new, and make friends. Perhaps even fall in love. For example, with a guy named Vincent — an incredible handsome man who captured her heart with just one smile.
But one day, everything changes.
One of the students disappears under mysterious circumstances, and soon Alice finds him in the forest. More precisely, his stone statue. How is this possible? Why is everyone around completely calm? And most importantly — what does the symbol of a chess piece, which suddenly appeared on her wrist, mean?
