But less than a week before the Ceremony, Adam goes missing and the only clue of what happened is a message carved into his bedroom door: Death waits for no man. With no Sacrifice for the Ceremony the people fear the wrath of the Gods, but what no one ever expected was for Death itself to intervene. Was Adam supposed to live or supposed to die?
