About this ebook

We Were Liars meets Room in this masterfully plotted psychological thriller from the critically acclaimed author of A List of Cages, Robin Roe.

SIXTEEN-YEAR-OLD SAYERS WAYTE HAS EVERYTHING.

Popularity, good looks, perfect grades—there's nothing Sayers' family money can't buy.

Until he's kidnapped by a man who tells him the privileged life he's been living is based on a lie. 

Trapped in a windowless room, without knowing why he's been taken or how long the man plans to keep him shut away, Sayers faces a terrifying new reality. To survive, he must forget the world he once knew, and play the part his abductor has created for him. 

But as time passes, the line between fact and fiction starts to blur, and Sayers begins to wonder if he can escape . . . before he loses himself.


  • A Chilling Abduction: Sixteen-year-old Sayers Wayte has it all—until a stranger snatches him and tells him his entire life is a lie.
  • Locked Room Suspense: Trapped in a windowless room with his captor, Sayers must play along with a twisted fantasy to stay alive.
  • Twisted Mind Games: The longer he's held, the more Sayers questions his own reality. Is his captor insane, or is there truth to his terrifying claims?
  • An Unraveling Identity: Forced to become 'Daniel,' a boy he doesn't know, Sayers fights to hold on to himself before the person he was disappears completely.
