Every fourth year, boys and girls are drafted to enter The Dacabre Killings, where the chosen eight must enter the island of Dacabre in pairs. The only goal of the Killings is to survive death during the competition, but when Dacabre has the power to drive souls mad with their own fears, death would be considered a mercy.
None of the eight contestants want anything to do with the game, but the deeper they get, the more they realize they don't have a choice...
Karina, the girl who wants to avenge her murdered parents.
Xander, the boy with a history with pirates.
Harlyn, the rude thief of Ragnar.
Jett, the nervous boy with an abusive father.
Ember, the small girl who can't remember her past.
Grey, the giant boy who can't stop thinking of the girl who died.
Astrid, the funny girl whose ignorance may be her demise.
Ryder, the boy who isn't who he seems to be.
Who, if any, will survive The Dacabre Killings?

The Island
"This is The Island, a prison designed for minors like me- too young to be executed, too old to be reformed, and too much of a stain on humanity to let exist. It was 'the answer' to the growing crime rate resulting from a world that was falling apart. The details evade me, but there is one thing I know. The water doesn't seem as scary as it did before." When Jordyn wakes up in the middle of a tropical forest in the mouth of a cat too big to be real, she decides this isn't how she wants to die. The Island has other plans, though. It was designed to kill her, and it will bring out every gun in the arsenal to do so. Her life becomes a game of survival from the mutant and venomous animals, severe temperature changes, and impossible weather scenarios that exist in this government manufactured prison. The twist? She has no idea who she is, where she came from, or why she committed first-degree arson. In this mixture of "The Hunger Games" and "Maze Runner", Jordyn has to unravel the truth before nature kills her- or die not knowing.
