Publisher's Synopsis
The Quiet Game: Ritual of Silence
A single whisper might unleash a centuries-old horror.
Sam Reed and her closest friends plan for a carefree weekend at a remote cabin-bonfires, ghost stories, and the hush of dense pines. Yet almost at once, eerie clues emerge: a dusty diary obsessed with "The Quiet Game," warning that any noise at night invites a monstrous guardian with wet, gore-clotted antlers and ember eyes. At first, they dismiss it as legend. But when claw marks appear along the cabin walls and glowing runes sear into the porch, disbelief turns to dread.
As dusk settles, the group's laughter falters. Footsteps scratch on the roof, muffled growls echo in the treeline, and each inadvertent shout or hushed expletive feels like a gamble with their lives. Cut off by a storm, phones dead, they discover ancient carvings in the forest shrine-clues to a silent ritual that might protect them if they can endure the vow of absolute hush. But terror mounts with every slip of voice, every panicked gasp. Before dawn, the entity is certain to claim a toll.
