A Game of Malice

Power. Privilege. Secrets. Lies. Welcome to Branson Academy, where the deadliest lessons aren't part of the curriculum.

When his friend, tech prodigy Mackenzie Fleming, vanishes without a trace, honors student and star athlete Lucas Rambally is determined to find her. Though the Branson rumor mill goes into a frenzy, claiming it's just another one of Mackenzie's disappearing acts, Lucas can't shake the feeling his friend is in serious trouble.

As he digs deeper, Lucas uncovers a trail of dark secrets that could shatter Branson's stellar reputation. But when queen bee Ivy Ishihara starts dropping sinister chess references, Lucas realizes he's stumbled into a game where he's a pawn and one wrong move could prove fatal.

The clock is ticking, and to find out what really happened to Mackenzie, Lucas must answer one simple question: Is his friend in mortal danger or is her disappearance a mind-blowing con that conceals something far more shocking than anyone could have imagined? In this twisted game of deception, the truth might be the deadliest player of all.
