Sarah
cannot escape the deadly Ludus—a mind-body dissociation game where bodies and
souls don't always merge after the game is over.
Sixteen-year-old Sarah Parker's healing touch can
bring beings back to life, provided they haven't crossed over. Until now she's
managed to keep her gift a secret, but somebody seems determined to expose her
and get her back into St. Mary's Orphanage. Four years ago, Sarah was an orphan
at St. Mary's who'd lost hope of ever being adopted and faced the gruesome
Ludus, a mind-body dissociation game, until Ida showed up. She's lived a dream
life since then, but Sarah senses something is amiss. She has pretty much
settled into her "new life" when cracks appear in her comfort zone.
The last thing Sarah wants is to return to St. Mary's.
When Marcus David, her boyfriend, is accused of
murdering a student and Ida is attacked shortly thereafter, Sarah's deepest
fears materialize. She loses Ida and Marcus in one breath and returns to St.
Mary's. There's no escaping the Ludus and the wrath of her newfound enemies. As
Sarah readjusts to St. Mary's, she learns the orphanage holds crucial secrets
to her past.

Excerpt:
I skip breakfast and leave for school before Ida's even up.
I'm rushing down the hall, anxious to catch a glimpse of Marcus when I run into
someone.
"Sorry."
"I'll survive," a husky male voice replies.
My gaze travels past the solid muscle I rushed into and into
a classically beautiful face that could have been ripped right off the pages of
Teen. He's hot, and he knows it.
"Armando Perez." He holds out his right hand and
smiles, expecting me to shake it and swoon.
He's gorgeous, but I'm not going to show him I think so.
"Sarah Parker."
"Pleasure's all mine." He takes my hand, raises it
to his lips, and kisses it.
His spontaneous gesture stuns me—I almost ignore the sudden
shiver creeping up my spine. "I have to get going."
"See you around, Miss Parker."
I run before he says anything else.
Pri is engrossed in conversation when I join her and Andy.
"You guys should've been there." Pri gestures dramatically. "O
rocked." Andy and I are sitting on the ledge of the fairy fountain. Marcus
hasn't arrived yet.
"What exactly rocked? The crowd? The music?" Andy
pops a Smartie into his mouth.
"Everything. The crowd isn't the usual losers only
after the spotlight. Last night totally amazed me." She tilts Andy's box
of Smarties into her mouth. "I swear I felt totally in my element at O.
Antoinette introduced me to the coolest people."
"Will Antoinette help me find a boyfriend there?"
Andy asks.
"She can if you're into goths, vampires, and
zombies."
"I'm into anything that loves me as I am," Andy
says, stifling a grin.
Pri rolls her eyes. "O isn't a joke, Andy. It's a
happening place if you're after a rocking evening."
"Who's planning a rocking evening?" Marcus smiles
at me before greeting Andy and Pri.
"Me. Andy's desperate for a boyfriend," Pri says.
"Nothing wrong with that." Marcus grins and winks
at Andy.
"Yeah. But O isn't exactly a place for casual
relationships."
Marcus hangs on to Pri's every word. I had no idea he was
into O at all. "Exactly what goes on there?" He's more curious than
his voice lets on. I can tell from the way his gaze never leaves Pri's while he
waits for her answer.
