The Afterlife Games

In the land of the living, you play to survive.
In the realm of the dead, you play to become alive.

Aria Rose died on her wedding day.
Which would be easier to move on as a ghost if her fiancé Callum wasn’t her murderer.

After wandering the city alone, she ends up trapped in a “dead only” nightclub where no one is allowed to leave, but is offered three choices: spend eternity imprisoned, surrender her soul, or compete in the Afterlife Games. A series of magical escape rooms where the winners earn a second chance at life.

Aria hesitates on the fate of her soul until that murderous jerkface walks through the door.
With the decision made, alongside a three other lost souls, she signs up to participate in the games.

But since annoying her was Callun’s favorite hobby while alive, why change things in the afterlife? Suddenly, escaping their imprisonment means relying on the man who sent her to the grave in the first place.

As every challenge demands teamwork and trust from her newly found family, another puzzle lurks in the background and raises the stakes more than she expected.

The prize? A second chance to live.

The cost? A family she always wanted, a soul she never thought she needed, and a heart that beats faster when the enemy shields her from a fate worse than death.
