"As a child, Blake went through a harsh experience, the details of which he has forgotten, but it continued to affect his calm, organized lifestyle, refusing adventure and risk, even for entertainment, so everyone labeled him a coward. But one night, he suddenly finds himself forced to change his lifestyle and confront his fears. He accepts the challenge of the mysterious, seductive Cassandra, and embarks on various adventures and horrors as quickly as possible in order to save the lives of his younger brother, Quinn, and his two friends, Maggie and Ross... before dawn. Seven exciting and terrifying games - with very special rules - will determine the fate of our young heroes, and show them the truth about their selves, which they do not know. Will they overcome them safely, or will Cassandra's world, based on the souls of the victims trapped inside, defeat them? The novel won the Maryland Black-Eyed Susan Book Award for High School in 2006 and was nominated for the Rhode Island Teen Book Award in 2005."
