At a masked ball where everyone is rich, beautiful, and lying through their teeth, one of them is a murderer—and none of them are allowed to leave until they prove which one. ────୨ৎ──── In the late 1920s, nine of the wealthiest young heirs in America are invited to an exclusive masked masquerade at the secluded Whitmore Estate. The night is meant to be elegant, indulgent, and unforgettable—filled with music, wine, and carefully hidden identities behind gilded masks. But when a body is discovered, the celebration collapses into chaos. A storm isolates the estate, cutting off all communication and trapping everyone inside. With no way out and no outside help, the remaining guests are forced into an uneasy alliance to uncover the truth. There is one rule they cannot escape: the murderer is still among them. As suspicion spreads and trust fractures, each clue becomes more dangerous than the last. Alliances shift, secrets surface, and every accusation carries consequences. In a house built on wealth and appearances, no one is what they seem—and survival depends on figuring out who is lying before the killer strikes again. ✦ . 　⁺ 　 . ✦ . 　⁺ 　 . ✦
