Shadows over Willow Creek - The Queen's Game

The Queen's Game
By Gideon Thorne

Power isn't taken. It's earned-move by move, piece by piece.

After narrowly surviving the horrors of the last entry, Harper Bell and the Cast find themselves marked as enemies of something far more dangerous than they ever imagined. Expelled, branded as liars, and stripped of their futures, the four teens must navigate a summer filled with grief, fear, and buried truths clawing their way to the surface.

When an old enemy escapes custody and a new one ascends to power, the Cast is forced into a deadly game of loyalty, legacy, and deception. As Harper struggles with the trauma of her kidnapping and the shadow of her father's death, Tyler, Ava, and Jaime uncover a chilling connection to a decades-old Dungeons & Dragons group-one that gave birth to a real-life cult built around chess, sacrifice, and control.

And at the center of it all? A name long buried in the past: Verity Quinn.

She created the game.
Now they're trapped inside it.

The Queen's Game is the third installment in the Shadows Over Willow Creek series, a dark and twisting mystery where secrets demand blood, and not everyone makes it to the final move. The Cast has survived knights and bishops. But the Queen? The Queen never needed protection.

The final chapter is coming.
Check is on the board.
