Let's play a game... Words can be powerful things, and those four just granted me a golden ticket straight to hell. Two beautifully deranged boys have decided I'm their next acquisition. To make things fair they give me a chance to save myself. All I have to do is beat them at a few games of their choice. Truth or dare. Hide and seek. Simon says. Seems simple until you account for the bloodied twist they each have. They say in all chaos there's calculation. For my sake I hope that's true because if we’re going to play, I’m playing to win. Malady is a complete novel. There's no cliffhanger, but it must be read after Crucible. Deviant Games Reading Order Crucible Malady Calamity—Standalone
