Seventeen-year-old Alora is a Hawker, trained her entire life to face the brutal Amnesty Games.
This week, Alora and her five fellow Hawkers will confront the Hopefuls—dangerous convicts given a chance to earn freedom through five days of fierce combat, grueling mazes, and lethal traps. If any Hopefuls survive the final two-day Pursuit through the haunted Netherwoods, they’ll walk free. If they fail, it’s back to the Ward’s prison for life.
But as secrets emerge, alliances shift, and loyalties blur, Alora realizes the Games are far deadlier than she knew. The rules aren’t just bending—they’re shattering, putting her survival on the line.
When the stakes mean freedom or death, will Alora risk everything to uncover the truth?
