Description

After their mother is brutally murdered, Ophelia inherits more than grief—she also gains her mother’s powerful necromancy magic and a crushing debt that threatens to destroy everything she and her sister have left.

Things take a darker turn when her sister enters Phantasma, a deadly magical competition held inside a cursed manor where most contestants never make it out alive. The winner receives one wish—powerful enough to change fate itself.

To save her sister, Ophelia must enter the competition too.

Inside the haunting manor, contestants must survive nine deadly levels filled with demons, temptations, twisted illusions, and brutal trials designed to break them.

That’s when she meets Blackwell, a mysterious and dangerously charming phantom who offers to guide her through the deadly game. He claims he can help her survive the trials.

But trusting him could be the biggest mistake she makes.

Because the deeper Ophelia travels into the cursed mansion, the stronger the attraction between them becomes—and in a place like Phantasma, falling in love might be more dangerous than any monster lurking in the shadows.
