DARKLY ISN'T DONE WITH HER YET. Months after the haunting events of?last summer, Arcadia is chasing light-Paris, familiar friends, maybe even closure. But when her old crush Poe vanishes without a trace, her search leads to his ransacked apartment, a stolen Louisiana Veda ghost game, and whispers of a decades-old murder at a legendary Riviera hotel. As secrets swirl beneath the surface of luxury, Arcadia finds herself drawn into a mystery that blurs the line between myth and truth.
The deeper she goes, the more she realizes: The stolen game isn't just haunted-it's hiding something. And someone doesn't want it found. The twisted mechanics of the Darkly empire have been set in motion again. But this time it is operating against a panorama of evil and conspiracy vaster than Arcadia ever imagined. Welcome back to the world of Darkly. Where the past is a puzzle, the present is a trap, and the only way out is to play.
