Twenty students survive a mysterious mass food poisoning at the prestigious "Selenite Academy", but survival proves to be only the beginning of their nightmare. Six months later, each receives a black invitation, a lifelike marionette doll, and a tarot card before being forced into the terrifying "Doll Game"-a deadly series of trials where every choice, betrayal, and secret brings them closer to death.
Among the survivors are gifted violinist "Aria", her hidden twin brother "Ian", quick-witted "Clara", grieving fashionista "Alice", loyal "Atheena", brilliant inventor "Zack", and the charismatic "Ijekiel", whose growing obsession with Aria threatens to consume them both. As friendships are tested and suspicion spreads, they discover that one of their own is a carefully disguised psychopath, while the enigmatic headmistress, "Madame Noir", manipulates the game from the shadows in pursuit of a horrifying goal: resurrecting her long-dead daughter.
With every marionette reflecting its owner's fate and every tarot card hinting at hidden truths, the students must unravel the academy's darkest secret before time runs out. But in a game where trust can be fatal and only six of the twenty will survive, the greatest danger may not be the monsters lurking in the darkness-it may be the person standing beside you.
**In the Doll Game, the strings are already tied. The only question is who will be left when they finally snap.**
