Cursed objects. Ruthless collectors. A world of haunted treasures. Shonda Henry wasn’t looking for trouble, but it found her anyway. A paranormal encounter at a college party exposes her to a world of spirits and haunted artifacts she can’t seem to shake. In the aftermath, she discovers her connection to the spirit world might be deeper than she thought. Searching for answers about a mysterious box, the evil it contained, and what it might have to do with her missing uncle, Shonda becomes drawn into the shadowy underworld where arcane relics are bought, sold, and fought over in high-stakes estate auctions. Before she knows it, Shonda finds herself working with a team dedicated to tracking and destroying cursed artifacts against an organization that would rather exploit them for power. When a board game turns deadly, Shondra has a play by the rules or break them. She better choose carefully, because once you enter the world of haunted artifacts, you don’t leave unscathed.
