A family curse. A restless spirit. A fae Upon the opening of an ancient, locked chest, 16-year-old Abilene Fandron unwittingly unleashes a powerful demon named Marcus. He is seductive, dangerous, threatening; everything she's been taught to stay away from. But instead of being repelled, she feels drawn to him, and can't seem to stay away. What she doesn't know is he has been trapped in the board for centuries. He now has a month to convince her to take his place inside the game, or he goes back in and must wait for the next person to fall prey to the pull of history. Marcus is determined to stay out of the box, and is more than willing to take down Abilene if it buys him his freedom. She begins to think she may be able to trust him, just when things begin to twist. Whatever happens in 30 days, one lost soul will end up damned in the board. But who will it be?
