THREE DAYS. SEVEN IMPOSSIBLE CLUES. ONE ANXIOUS TEEN RACING TO SOLVE THEM ALL.
Dan is an anxious eighteen-year-old who'd rather spend his weekends playing tabletop games with his mom. But when has the Universe ever cared what Dan wanted?
When a friend drags him into a city-wide scavenger hunt, Dan lets his trusted dice decide his fate. The roll throws him headfirst into a whirlwind adventure he's definitely not prepared for. But with a fifty-thousand-euro prize that could pay for his mother's surgery, it's a risk he needs to take.
From the crypts beneath St. Stephen's Cathedral, through a freezing maze at Schönbrunn Palace, to the grand ball at the National Opera, Dan and his team chase clues hidden in Vienna's historic landmarks - uncovering the city's mysteries along with each other's secrets. But when Dan faces his worst fears, can he rise to the challenge and win before time runs out?
LET THE HUNT BEGIN.
Packed with witty banter, nerdy references, and unexpected twists, this thrilling coming-of-age adventure explores mental health, self-discovery, and friendship - proving that sometimes the best moments happen when you let go and let the dice roll. Perfect for fans of John Green and Alice Oseman. Buy now to join the adventure and follow along with the clues inside the book!
