Description
*Discover the ADDICTIVE, ROMANTIC and TWIST-FILLED series that has sold millions of copies around the world*
FIVE PLAYERS REMAIN.
Seven Players arrived on Hawthorne Island to play a billionaire's game. Now only five remain, and the race to the finish line is on.
MILLIONS OF DOLLARS ARE AT STAKE.
The heat turns up on the competition - and between the players - and it becomes increasingly clear that no one will emerge from the Grandest Game unscathed.
BUT SO ARE HEARTS - AND LIVES.
For there are no coincidences. Everyone is a liar. And someone is watching . . .
THE GAME IS ON.
