After destroying the Imaginaerium Engine, Maggie must find a new source of power for the portals to the Otherworlds while also preventing Lord Bres from seizing control of the Engine’s heart.

Life in their sleepy town was routine for Maggie and her brother - until one Saturday afternoon in October when a freaky woman dressed in black stepped off of the bus from Fort Worth and walked into their mother's hotel. She said that her name was Mrs. Johnson, but later Maggie learned that it wasn't.  It was really Vivienne and she definitely wasn't who she had seemed to be... Suddenly Maggie's world was flipped upside down with Vivienne's talk about saving the Imaginaerium Engine. Curious, Maggie asked, "What's an Imaginaerium Engine?" Life got so crazy after that....

The three plays forming the French Defense trilogy, center on the Paul Morphy Chess Club of New Orleans and a club member's psychotic breakdown - a modern ghost story. Playing serious chess, of course, provides an excellent metaphorical vehicle for depicting Player's struggle. However there are other issues explored in these plays than that of having a breakdown in New Orleans. The other characters in the French Defense have their own critical and important narrative arcs to tread. Weakness and strength of human character through the abstract emotions of love, compassion, failure, grief, and jealousy run throughout this trilogy.
