The hunt is on! In this spellbinding sequel to the The Grimlore Game, a misfit orphan with cursebreaking magic teams up with her wallflower cousin and a talking cat to solve the mysteries buried deep within their gothic, curse-ridden town.

Being a cursebreaker isn’t easy work. Just ask thirteen-year-old Kit, who managed to solve the mystery of Grimlore Manor—only to discover a large-scale curse has overtaken the nearby town of Hearthstone. The townspeople’s most beloved possessions have begun to disappear, and no one can figure out why. Soon enough, Kit and her hapless cousin Harlow find themselves on a dangerous scavenger hunt through a town riddled with curse creatures, booby traps, and haunting family secrets.

As time begins to run out, people begin to disappear too. Kit will have to dive deep into her family’s past if she wants to have any hope of saving the town. After all. . . what use is a cursebreaker if she can’t break a curse?

SOLVE THE PUZZLES. SURVIVE THE GAME.

Orphan Kit Devlin knows two things for sure about her scheming relatives:

1. They’re cursed, with someone doomed to croak every three years like clockwork.
2. They only care about one thing: themselves.

When wealthy Grandpa Amos dies, all the Devlins come running to his manor for their piece of the inheritance—only to find a mysterious magical game instead. Whoever solves the riddles will win his fortune. But everything is not what it seems, like the misfit cousin with secrets to hide and the crimson-eyed cat who only talks to Kit. As the clues stack up, Kit learns there’s more to the family curse—and her connection to it—than she ever suspected. If she wants answers, she has to survive the game… and win.
