Every eight years, seven children - each hailing from a different continent - are stolen from their homes and repurposed as the Tiberius, contestants in a brutal competition no one even gets to watch. These children don't fight for applause, but for survival, as they're hurled into the infamous Tiberius Games - A series of seven psychological and physical trials, each designed around a universal human terror.
From a fear of fire, to a fear of decisions, to a fear of the dark, each game cuts deeper into the minds than the last. The victor is promised unimaginable wealth and a place amongst the shadowy royalty who orchestrate the games. The rest? If they're lucky, they'll be stripped of all they know, cast into the streets, nameless and disgraced. If not, the games will consume them entirely.
Seven strangers, seven rivals, and seven victims of a tradition they've never heard of, the children must confront not only each other, but their deepest, most primal fears, because in the Tiberius Games, the worst enemy is always yourself.
