The Faces Not Yet Fallen

When Daniel Cross stumbles into a hidden room inside an abandoned mansion, he expects dust and cobwebs - not walls lined floor to ceiling with photographs of strangers, each one very much alive. As he studies the faces, a horrifying pattern emerges: every person on that wall is destined to die, and the room seems to know it before it happens. With reclusive heir Ethan Blackwell hiding secrets behind the mansion's locked doors and enigmatic local Mara Whitlock warning him to leave before it's too late, Daniel is pulled into a countdown he never agreed to join. The room isn't just watching the future. It's choosing it. And now Daniel's own face is missing from the wall - which either means he's safe, or he's next to be added.
