    About this ebook

    No memories. No light. Not alone.

    In a world where the poor are used as experiments and the wealthy find entertainment in fighting tournaments, Scarlett finds herself in the middle of it all - with no memories of her past. Upon the opportunity of an escape, she leads a group of survivors away from the wretched caves that were their prison.

    But with freedom came the knowledge of what they have become, and as each day passes, so does their humanity. However, now that those responsible for their torture need them now more than ever before – the group needs to find a way out of the island before it leads to their death.

    A story of betrayal, isolation and inner turmoil, Scarlett needs to uncover the truth of the beast that lays dormant within her, all the while trying to keep her sanity in check and the other survivors safe.
