Andrea shivers the first time she sees the dreary old mansion. She's glad she's just visiting Shadowlawn for a school project. The last thing she expects is to be trapped there, held prisoner by a wild storm that blows in. Andrea finds herself surrounded by six strange people—and Craig, who is kind and protective. What are the others covering up? Andrea tries desperately to find answers as to why she is locked in her room, how a body on the stairs disappears, and who drugs Craig. Before long, Andrea realizes someone in the house wants her to stay—to assist an old magician in a performance that is bizarre—and possibly deadly.
