Not every invitation is what it seems. This one will kill you.
Forensic psychologist Sarah Black swore she’d never hunt monsters again. The case that destroyed her career still stalks her in the dark. But when the invitation to Hawthorne Manor arrives, she can’t resist.
Then the storm hits. The gates lock. And the horror is revealed. Mouth sewn shut. Eyes wide with terror.
Now panic grips the manor. No one can leave. And someone inside is a killer. Beside her stands Chief Tom Thorne, a grizzled cop, skeptical yet desperate for answers. Their uneasy alliance fractures as suspicion rips through the gilded halls.
And with it, the century-old Hawthorne curse whispers again.
Behind polished smiles, a predator hides in plain sight. Every clue whispers of the Order of the Circle—a secret society that kills to keep its silence. Its reach deadly. Its power absolute.
As fear tightens its grip, Sarah and Thorne must race against time to unmask the conspiracy before no one is left alive.
The gala isn’t just a crime scene. It’s a trap.
And the killer’s game has only begun.
