Clay stared down at his bloody mask and refused to make eye contact with George or Zak. "It's not just that," he noted, clearly showing terror. "I can't activate it, that has to be one of the keys. What if...what if the previous players didn't active theirs, and that's why they all died. What if they weren't the sacrifice, what is it's me?"
The two boys stared at him, both frozen. Zak was the only one to speak up. "Clay, it's not-"

In a forest where shadows fight back and water tries to drown you, George woke up with no memory, only his name and that he wasn't in the right place. The others shared this experience, the Numbered Generation. Some try to live their best lives in their new nightmare-like life, while others seek freedom. Given absolutely no instructions, the seven boys must find their own ways to survive and the keys to escape. But, the fact remains : they don't know what those keys are.

Cassalyn Diao is used to making enemies of all kinds, but none have ever come close to truly hurting her. So when she stumbles upon a plot that could set her nation back by years, she runs to her old allies at the Arecian Secret Service for aid.
Marcus Dalton has been looking for Cass since their last disastrous last encounter years ago, but he didn't expect their next meeting to begin with her passing out bleeding on his front doorsteps. But he'll take the chance to reconcile with her and try to put their past behind them.
It won't be easy, though, with their cunning enemy seeking ways to silence Cass and her own refusal to let anyone in again. The two will have to work together against the ticking clock to survive this game of cat-and-mouse and come out with both their hearts and heads intact.
