In a weird way, Cameron Walker’s Dad is the reason his life just blew up. If Dad had never made him go to school the day after his best friend’s funeral, Walker never would’ve followed the fox to the fort they’d built together as kids and found the cards. He never would’ve discovered the strange message inside the box, “It begins as Death”, or asked any questions about it. He would’ve stayed blind, dumb, and happy forever.

But Dad did make him go, so Walker saw the fox and found the box. Now, he’s walking headfirst into a maze that will force him to confront the righteous beliefs that shaped him, his Italian ancestors, and perhaps most terrifyingly, himself. With friendship, faith, and magick, Walker finds a way through, but nothing comes without a cost.
