Win the games. Survive the lies. Save what matters.

After escaping the lies of Wonder, Carter Simms heads south in search of the girl he can’t forget. His journey leads him to Hollowtown—a sprawling, lawless city built around Carnival, the largest arena in existence. Here, competitors fight for a prize powerful enough to change their lives, and the entire city watches with hungry eyes.

Hollowtown thrives on spectacle. The games are dazzling, brutal, and addictive. Behind the lights and illusions, two forces battle for control: a charismatic showman who commands the arena, and a ruthless leader whose influence reaches into every corner of the city. Both see something in Carter they want. Both are willing to tear the city apart to claim it.

Drawn into the games, Carter discovers a world fueled by manipulation, shifting alliances, and secrets far darker than anything he faced in Wonder. And when a revelation shakes the foundation of who he believes himself to be, he realizes Hollowtown isn’t just a place to survive—it’s a place that will demand everything he has left. In a city where loyalty is dangerous and truth is a weapon, Carter must decide what he’s willing to risk, who he’s willing to trust, and how far he’ll go to save the people he loves.
