Welcome to the dangerous and secret-laden world of the conjurers where friends are enemies, alliances are made and broken in a heartbeat, and you never know who to trust.
Twenty-two-year-old Mari Locke grew up in Hell Gate, a home for lost souls in New York City. While some would consider Hell Gate evil, she's always considered the conjurers worse. After all, their illusions plunge the world into wars, famines, and plagues. She's spent her entire life hiding from the conjurers because of who and what she is-someone with the rare ability to untie illusion.
Everything changes on the night of her seventh death. Suddenly, Mari is thrust into the Hundred Year Games. A brutal, deadly event that decides which conjurer will rule the world for the next one hundred years.
Her ticket to the games is Finn Alterra, a half-conjurer, half-human with no chance of winning. Her orders: get him to the winner's podium by whatever means necessary, steal the crown off his head, and kill him. If she succeeds she'll save the world and herself.
But in this world there are games within games and illusions on top of illusions. Nothing is as it seems and no one is who they claim to be. As Mari grows closer to Finn, the man she's destined to kill, she begins to question what is illusion and what is real. And most importantly, if either she or Finn will leave the games alive.
