It all started on August 9th.
Seventeen year old Dmitri Worth thought the hardest part of losing Meccah was letting her go without a goodbye. He was wrong. The hardest part was learning nobody told the truth.
Sixteen year old Salem Hayes thought everything went out the window when her dad tossed her to the streets. But when she finds the crumbling Worth family, she gets herself tangled into things she never wanted to play with again: grief, love, and murder.
Alaric Worth is barely eighteen years old when things tip over the edge. Still living with his cousin Dmitri under their grandfather's roof, Alaric has too much to juggle. He has to keep Dmitri afloat through Meccah's death, lend Salem a helping hand, take on the true toll of his mother's death, and deal with his girlfriend, Zrina Kayson, while managing his own grief.
Zrina Kayson knows there's something wrong with her, she just doesn't know what. Rumors fly left and right about Zrina, about her big sister's murder, about her ex boyfriends, about Alaric. Swimming through a school of people dying to get dirt on her reputation, Zrina tries her hardest to b perfect for Alaric, because if she can be a perfect girlfriend, then she'll be a perfect friend, and then a perfect person, and nobody'll hate her, right?
Told as a multiple perspective story, Dmitri, Alaric, Zrina, and Salem try to survive a world of scandals, lies, deaths, and worst of all, games.
