Book Blurb:
I was born into the heart of Manhattan’s elite circles, and I never imagined my life would take such a wild turn. Attending this esteemed institute in Scotland seemed like the perfect escape from the suffocating expectations of my family.
But a campus party gone wrong changed everything.
Caught in a drug raid, I was summoned to the Dean’s office, where my fate intertwined with five others. Instead of expulsion, our punishment was a twisted stroke of fate. We were to miss the two-week orientation events and embark on a humanitarian project in Africa, installing irrigation systems for a remote village. A teacher who looked more like he belonged in a men’s glossy magazine would accompany us.
However, fate had other plans.
Our plane plunged into the ocean, leaving us stranded on an island.
As we battle the elements, we rely on each other to survive and struggle to maintain our sanity. We unearthed a chilling truth lurking beneath the island’s surface. Things are happening here, and something sinister threatens our existence. Together, we need to conquer our differences and confront the darkness if we ever hope to see civilization again.
Will this motley crew of survivors— the Princess, the Criminal, the Athlete, the Brain, the Basket Case, and the Teaching Assistant — survive the perils of the island, outwit the menacing cannibals, and unravel the malevolent secrets concealed in the depths of the shadows, or will their journey end in tragic demise?
