In a world where survival is broadcast for entertainment, Phoenix Winter must face her darkest chapter yet. As a bestselling thriller author, she thought she knew everything about writing death. Now she's living it.

Trapped in a twisted tournament at an abandoned university, Phoenix and nineteen other contestants face a nightmare where the rules keep changing and the cameras never stop rolling. But something darker lurks beneath the surface—the infected are evolving, alliances shatter, and the mysterious Restoration Initiative's true agenda begins to unravel.

With a military strongman controlling the infected, a phantom saboteur in their midst, and her own daughter's safety hanging in the balance, Phoenix must decide who to trust when every partnership could end in betrayal. In this game, survival isn't just about staying alive—it's about staying human.

The first installment in a haunting series that blends psychological horror with post-apocalyptic survival, DEADLINE asks the ultimate question: how far would you go to live another day when the whole world is watching?

The Tournaments series is a dark, dystopian survival saga like no other—a gripping blend of suspense, horror, and relentless twists spanning 10 interconnected but standalone novellas.

Each novella plunges you into a different Tournament setting, from abandoned malls to eerie hospitals, where contestants fight to survive under the shadow of a sinister conspiracy. Every story stands alone, with its own unique cast and stakes, but together they weave a chilling narrative about the true purpose of the Tournaments and the growing power of the organization behind them.

Here’s how it works:

- Standalone Survival Stories: Each novella introduces a fresh cast of characters thrown into a deadly arena designed to test their limits—and yours.
- Connected Conspiracy: As the series progresses, fragments of a larger mystery come into focus, revealing the terrifying truth behind the Tournaments and their true goal.
- Rapid Releases: New books drop every two weeks, so the action never stops.
- Your Path, Your Pace: You can dive into one novella or devour them all—each story offers its own shocking revelations while contributing to the overarching plot.
