"The Wheel does not care if you are young or afraid, petty or weak. It certainly doesn’t care what you want. The Wheel calls you to this whether you can bear it or not. The Last Battle is coming. What any of us wants now is meaningless. The only thing that matters is what you do." - THE WHEEL OF TIME 1.06

Summary:
For many years, before being bought by adventurer, survivalist, and author Octavia Blake, the house at the edge of town sat empty…
On Halloween, eight old friends gather in a Victorian manor house for their annual reunion. As the night wears on and a heavy storm breaks, stories are shared, accusations are made, spirits are contacted, and secrets come to light. Before the clock strikes midnight, one of them will be dead.
The other seven will be left to wonder: who among them is the killer?
And then Halloween will begin again. And again and again, until the mystery is solved and the murder averted at last.
