From the New York Times bestselling and award-winning author Trang Thanh Tran comes a pulse-pounding thrill ride set in the remote forest of Vietnam, as three best friends battle to survive the night.

An ancient demon. Three best friends on a trip of a lifetime. Six hours to survive until dawn.

Tess Pham has always been a mess, especially after her brother died. Depression, grief, and a secret crush on her best friend have made the last year feel like hell.

Now, a long-awaited trip to Vietnam is supposed to bring closure. Tess's family plans to bury her brother's ashes in their grandmother's remote village, and her best friends, Nell and Evie, have come along for moral support. They've been through everything together, but a demon might be the breaking point.

When Tess's ailing grandmother vanishes, the girls venture into the wilderness where they find bloodstained altars to a local deity who has consumed the Pham family since the war.

With six hours until dawn, they must break the ritual--or decide who among them will be sacrificed.

Tensions rise. Secrets are unearthed. But some demons just can't be buried.
