Synopsis:
When
nerdy Rich Witz unwittingly becomes a Paladin, a white knight, in
training, he is thrust into a world where flunking a test can change
the course of history and a mysterious bully is playing for keeps
with his life.
Rich’s
grandmother leaves him with one thing before disappearing for good: a
white chess pawn with his initials engraved on it. The pawn marks him
as the next in an ancient line of white knights. He must prove
himself in a life or death contest against his Nemesis, a dark knight
in training, all while dealing with math homework and English
projects. With the ghost of an ancestor for his guide, he has seven
days to complete four tasks of valor before his Nemesis does, or join
his guide in the realm of the dead.
As
Rich rushes to complete the tasks, he realizes the chilling truth:
his Nemesis is masquerading as someone at school and will stop at
nothing to make him fail. As the tasks grow ever harder, the other
knights reveal to him that his failure will break a centuries-old
chain and bring the Paladin order to ruin. If he fails, the dark
knights win the right to control the fate of the world, a world
without hope or the possibility of a new dawn. So this is one exam
Rich has to ace, with no curve and no extra credit.
