Not all of them survived. n nNow, at the end of their senior year of high school, the survivors--Owen, Madeline, Emerson, and Dax--have reunited for one strange and terrible reason: theyve been summoned by the ghost of Ian, the friend they left for dead. n nTogether they return to the place where their friendship ended with one goal: find Ian and bring him home. So they restart the deadly game they never finished--an innocent card-matching challenge called Meido. A game without instructions. n nAs soon as they begin, theyre dragged out of their reality and into an eerie hellscape of Japanese underworlds, more horrifying than even the darkest folktales that Owens grandmother told him. There, they meet Shinigami, an old wise woman who explains the rules: n nThey have one night to complete seven challenges or theyll all be stuck in this world forever. n nOnce inseparable, the survivors now cant stand each other, but the challenges demand they work together, think quickly, and make sacrifices--blood, clothes, secrets, memories, and worse. n nAnd once again, not everyone will make it out alive.n
