About this ebook

She chased her dream. It tried to kill her.


For Akiko Ono, being accepted into the apprentice program at Kyoto’s most prestigious sushi restaurant was supposed to be life-changing—a chance to honor her father’s legacy.


But from the moment she enters the six-week program, something feels off.


• Her fellow apprentices are disturbingly secretive.

• No one will answer her questions.

• Contact with the outside world is forbidden.

• Personal belongings are confiscated.


Then the accidents begin, each more dangerous than the last.


With each passing day, Akiko begins to wonder if they’re intentional. If so, could she be next?


The opportunity of a lifetime is quickly turning into a waking nightmare. If Akiko doesn’t uncover the truth about the program, she’ll lose more than her dream—she’ll lose her life.
