In this book a group of roughly 100 teenagers are taken and forced to play a game where half of them will live, and half of them will die, and it’s entirely their choice. Rowan and Oakley are part of that group. They are taken from a world of wonder, and forced to watch as death surrounds them in a cruel game of power. They struggle to tell the difference between truth and deceit in a place where they can trust no one, not even each other.
