When I first got the idea for what became the Chess Series, I knew that Retta and Anders were my main characters. I had the idea that Retta was having trouble getting pregnant, and that she was much more attracted to Anders than to her husband Lucian. This is my first pass at the story. Many elements of the final are here, but there are also things that changed. It was after writing this that I realized I needed to start the story much earlier, and so the final starts when Retta arrives in Jador.
