Book One of the Drey entanglement! Previously 'The Game Of Tag, 'A Catalyst Key'

A bolt of lightning thrusts through the night, glowing scarlet in the shimmering window, and as I stare, it illuminates the droplets settled upon the glass...

This is how the night begins.


And it's all because of Anna Drey.
 

Her haunting starts with the dream. The running. The endless closet. The darkness. The Quakes.

And then comes the Day of Infection.

The first stage: Touch. If the Haunter touches you, you're good as dead. You can only tell that it's there by a faint outline and a blur in the wall.

The second stage: Scratch. The Touched seem normal, seem like your everyday family member. But they aren't. While some are scratched but aren't yet infected, and some are but under a humane disguise, they'll scratch you if you get close. Then the Haunter controls you, it is you. It's in your very soul.

The third stage: The Quakes. If you're infected by midnight, by Touch or by Scratch, you get the final Quake dream. If you don't, you're safe. If you get the dream, you don't wake up.

Anna Drey is in the middle of it all, and she only has one way, one day to survive.

Betray your family, join a side. But how will you know who is who?

This book is the first in the Drey Entanglement series, and the second in the Azurelon's Folly series. Directions on how to choose your timeline are in the final chapters!

DANTE When I first laid my eyes on her; she was only eleven, three years younger than me. She was quiet. And pure. But she was troubled, and alone. I could see it behind her eyes; the thin veil that concealed her deepest secrets, faltering every time she looked at me. I knew from that moment on that I would live for her. And she would eventually live for me, too. With or without her blessing. However, circumstances change. And that purity I once relished in; her light in contrast to my darkness, disappeared. But, don't worry my little sinner, I will haunt you. And I won't be as kind this time. EDEN I won't let you scare me. That's what I keep telling myself. And yet, I see you. In every dark corner, in every casting shadow -- I see you when I close my eyes. And I hate myself for it. But I'm older now. Wiser. You took my innocence from me, and while I hate myself for allowing you to, I hate you just that much more. But I won't let you in this time. I don't want your inferno to engulf me anymore, I want to extinguish it. **PLEASE BE WARNED** This book will contain graphic contents, including but not limited to: violence, sexual contents and sensitive subjects.

One day soon she'll reach out and scratch her crackboned finger down your cheek, or you'll wake to find her birdnest body pressed against yours, her fingers worrying themselves beneath your skin. There's nothing you can do to stop her, not now, not ever. But if you want to keep reading then who am I to stop you? Maybe you'll find something I didn't. Maybe you'll find a way to make her unsee you. Maybe. You're dead. She's already killed you. This book has killed you. But don't turn around yet. You might have a few hours left-days maybe, if somebody else starts to read this book as well, weeks if the whole world starts reading. But if you see her now, the rot and the horror will eat you up fast. She sees you. She is on her way. Don't turn around, deadthing. Don't stop now, deadthing. Just read.
