It isn't until a childhood friend of Peizhi's mother, Lady Xiaomeng, pays a visit to seek a good wife for her mysterious son, Zian Xiaomeng, to pay back a debt. In return, the wife shall live nobly and of certain status. To much discretion, that daughter becomes Peizhi.

"You can't get away with killing us!!" The declaration echoed through the dimly lit room, met with unexpected amusement from the blood-drinking demon. He chuckled, a sinister sound that reverberated off the walls as if he'd heard the funniest joke in eons. "Relax, children," the demon drawled with a sickly sweet tone. "I have no intention of killing any of you. My plans are far grander. From this moment forward, the world you've known will cease to exist. You are to become the servants of others for the greater good." A heavy silence fell over the room. Cami scanned the faces of her friends, noting their expressions of confusion and terror. Some girls wept openly, while others struggled futilely against the burly men who held them down. Unable to suppress her rising dread, Cami's voice trembled as she broke the silence. "W-what are you t-talking about?" The demon's eyes glittered with a malevolent delight as he leaned closer, his grin widening. "Darling, you're about to become an immortal slave." For Cami Santiago, summer break was supposed to be a time of carefree fun with friends. But their idyllic escape turns into a nightmare when they discover that the stranger who followed them to their remote cabin harbors a diabolical plan. Faced with the terror of human trafficking, Cami and her friends are thrust into a world far more sinister than they imagined. The true horror reveals itself as they learn that their fate is not merely in the hands of wicked individuals, but ancient Gods and Goddesses who run a cruel selection process. Only the "best" are spared in this macabre game of survival, and Cami finds herself deemed a prime candidate for the gods' twisted entertainment. As she and her friends grapple with their grim reality, Cami must navigate a treacherous path where the divine and monstrous intertwine, and her fight for freedom becomes a desperate struggle against ancient forces.

Sixteen-year-old Gabi Parker expects nothing exciting when she and her older brother move to the lake-side town of Kenosha, Wisconsin for the summer. It is soon discovered the lovely town has a strange habit of young men turning up dead in a grisly fashion along the beautiful shores of the lake. Police believe it to be a fast-moving serial killer. Old legend-believing townsfolk feel otherwise. By chance Gabi discovers that a bizarre noise calls out from over by the large rocks surrounding the harbor. It's a loud screech of a sound that only sounds alluring to young men... That's not her only surprise. The gorgeous lake seems to be home to creatures a salt-free lake really shouldn't hold. As Gabi begins to investigate the strange mystery surrounding the town, old stories based on Greek mythology may not be as imaginary as they seem... As Gabi tries to reconcile the fact that Gods and monsters are actually apart of reality she may not have a choice in helping a son of Poseidon and a daughter of Zeus solve the sick murder mystery surrounding the deaths of all the young men. Her own brother may be the mysterious killer's next target. Cover by xShreyaPandeyx
