Two deadly games. Two haunted realms. One chance at survival.

When Ophelia’s sister vanishes without a trace, and Genevieve Grimm’s mother is brutally murdered, both young women are thrust into sinister worlds that promise answers—at a steep cost.

Ophelia enters Phantasma, a cursed mansion where contestants must navigate nine perilous trials to win a single wish. The rules are simple: stay alive and don’t fall in love. But when the dangerously charming Blackwell offers to help her survive—for a price—Ophelia finds herself torn between mistrust and a growing, forbidden attraction.

Genevieve is lured to Enchantra, a palace of marble and thorns, where illusion and danger intertwine. To uncover the truth about her mother’s death, she must enter a game where the stakes are life and death. There, she encounters Rowin Silver—arrogant, infuriating, and undeniably magnetic. To survive, they must pretend to be in love… even as the line between performance and reality begins to blur.

In a world where every step could mean death and every alliance is a risk, Ophelia and Genevieve must rely on their instincts—and their hearts—to make it out alive. But in these cursed games, the deadliest rule of all is the one they’re both in danger of breaking:

Never fall in love.
