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?

55 parts Complete
Striking a deal with Death can have dangerous effect - especially when you end up in a love triangle with one of its reapers, while fighting for your life in a deadly underworld competition. *** Percy Spring has always been able to see the darker side of the world - ever since the car accident that almost claimed her life, she has gained the ability to see demons and Death's reapers. But when Death itself offers her a second chance at life, she knows she can't pass it up. In order to save her friends, Percy agrees to enter The Game - a deadly competition in the underworld where no one is as they seem. As Percy navigates the dangerous world of The Game, she realizes that she has been placed in competition with one of Death's reapers, Ryder, with whom she has a complicated past. To make matters even more complicated, she is also competing against Death's jealous mistress. When the other players start to die, Percy must decide who she can trust in order to emerge victorious. As she struggles to outwit Death and save her friends, Percy must also confront her own feelings and decide where her loyalties lie. Can she trust Ryder, the reaper with whom she shares a tumultuous history, or Blake, the mysterious man who promised to help her save her friends? And can Percy truly trust either of them? Striking a deal with Death has never been more dangerous, and the consequences of Percy's choices will have a lasting impact on her future. Will she come out on top, or will she be caught in Death's deadly game forever? *** "Percy Spring, you are offered a second chance." "A second chance," she repeated. "This mean I will come back to life?" "The game of second chance was created for people whose fate is in doubt of whether their time has come or not. It is also for those who wish to go out on a limb and try their luck in winning with me," Death started explaining. "You will be put in the game, and we will play."
