For seven days every seven years, the carnival returns to Saint Marrow.
The town treats it like a celebration - bright lights, music echoing through the streets, performers with painted smiles, and rides glowing against the ocean fog. But behind the laughter, whispers spread every time the carnival arrives:
People disappear.
Lanessra Vale has spent her whole life hearing rumors about Pleasure Isle - a hidden place spoken about like a myth, where the carnival's chosen are taken aboard impossible pirate ships that vanish into the sky. Most people think it's only a story.
Until her best friend Marcy disappears during the carnival's opening night.
Desperate and alone, Lanessra searches for answers through the twisted maze of games, performers, and secrets hidden beneath the carnival tents. Then she finds a strange ticket abandoned in the dirt - black velvet paper stamped with crimson ink and a single set of instructions.
One way journey.
Following the ticket leads Lanessra beyond Saint Marrow and into Pleasure Isle itself: a seductive world of dangerous magic, cult rituals, flying pirate ships, masked dancers, deadly games, and a charismatic ringmaster who seems to know far too much about her.
But the deeper Lanessra falls into the island's enchanting horrors, the more she realizes something terrifying:
Pleasure Isle didn't bring her there to save Marcy.
It brought her there to stay.
7 days. 7 years. 7 chosen.
