The Prize is $500,000. The game is to be the last one left. The cost… is everything.
Trevor Hasting is on the brink of losing it all. Lucy Bingham is ready to build a future for herself and break away from her cursed past. For both, the reality television show is more than a test of skills, it’s a chance to start over.
Yet as Trevor, Lucy, and the other contestants start the game, everything changes. Food is scarce. A strange red moss strangles the landscape. And something stalks the deep timber, taking the survivalists out one-by-one.
While the show’s producers watch from afar, a ritual older than the Earth itself begins to unfold. To survive, Trevor and Lucy will not only have to battle the elements but also the antlered creature stalking them, or they’ll find out what drives the worms to feast.
