Darkly

Dia Gannon might seem like an ordinary person, yet she finds herself selected for an extraordinary opportunity that many would desire. Esteemed author E. Lockhart, known for the bestselling novel "We Were Liars," praises Marisha Pessl as an exceptionally talented and surprising writer. Arcadia Dia Gannon is deeply fascinated by Louisiana Veda, a game designer whose intricate creations with the company Darkly have garnered a devoted fanbase. Dia is taken aback when she's selected for a sought-after internship alongside six other international teens. What makes her so special? Once a dominant game-making powerhouse known for its innovative and terrifying creations, Darkly now stands silent after Veda's enigmatic demise. The remaining games are seen as rare artistic masterpieces, often fetching millions at auctions. As Dia and the other interns immerse themselves into the enigmatic world of Darkly, they unearth hidden symbols, mysterious clues, and a tangled web of secrets. Who are these other chosen interns, and what are they concealing? The true purpose of their selection is hidden within the complex and riveting world of Darkly. This summer promises to be the most twisted game yet, in a compelling tale crafted by Pessl. As Kirkus Reviews notes with high praise, it's a journey where every move counts: "Roll the die, flip the card: We have a winner."
