Nine strangers.
One dead billionaire.
And a game no one can walk away from.

When Scarlet Hathaway steps back into Thaddeus Wentworth’s shadowed mansion after thirty years, she senses it immediately—something is wrong. Very wrong. Soon the room fills with others, each mysteriously summoned, each carrying secrets they would rather keep buried. They came expecting answers… and perhaps a fortune.

What they get instead is a challenge.

To claim Wentworth’s five-billion-dollar empire, they must play a game that strips away pretense, exposes hidden motives, and forces impossible choices. Alliances will fracture. Truths will surface. And not everyone will make it to the end.
