About this book
Seven strangers clutch golden tickets to the most exclusive competition of their lives—a high-stakes game on a private island where fortunes are won and secrets are weaponized. Hosted by Avery Grambs and the enigmatic Hawthorne brothers, the game promises everything from wealth to fame to answers no one else can provide, but only if you're willing to push yourself past every limit. As brilliant puzzles and brutal challenges separate the players from their masks, alliances crack and nothing stays hidden for long. This is a delicious blend of mystery, competition, and the kind of character-driven drama that'll keep you racing through pages to see who's playing whom.

Think Phoebe Bridgers meets instrumental thriller soundtracks: clever, atmospheric, building toward revelation.”
