"Who is the more likely suspect, the hunter or the hunted?"
Artemis, the last of the Solivan family line, is nearing the end of his career as a hunter. His family's most prized relic, the fabled Cora Ruby Heart, has brought them prestige since its acquisition but according to legend, the gemstone comes with a fateful price.
At its centenary, fourteen college students, a closely-knit group of friends, decide to spend their winter break at the island, now a retreat spot owned by Artemis' secretary and close friend, Callisto Altria. As the nights pass by, things spiral out of control as the gemstone's curse reaches its peak. A series of deaths ensue and the island's occupants now have to fight for their survival and, at the same time, to unveil the mysteries of Solivan Island. Is it the curse's doing, or is it the work of human hands?
Inspired by various selections as "The Most Dangerous Game", "13 Dead End Drive", and "And Then There Were None", delve into this latest island mystery thriller and discover the truth behind all deceptions and ciphers the Solivan family has to offer.
