The Last Gala at Blackwater
By London Hilton
The summer of '94 ended in blood. Thirty years later, the debt is finally being called in.
Thirteen high school friends, lured by the promise of hidden treasure and the thrill of local legend, break into the abandoned Wentworth Estate-a sprawling, 1,000-acre Gothic nightmare on the edge of a private, bottomless lake. Rumor says the Wentworth family was slaughtered during their final End of Summer gala, victims of a dark pact that went horribly wrong.
As the group moves deeper into the rotting mansion, they realize the house isn't just a monument to the past-it's a living, breathing predator. From the shifting shadows of the two-story library to the spectral feasts laid out in the dining hall, the estate begins to systematically claim its new guests.
What the friends don't know is that the Wentworth fortune wasn't built on timber or gold; it was forged in black magic and a deadly misunderstanding with a high voodoo priestess. Now, the gates are locked from the inside, the Salvation Room has become a trap, and the High Priestess herself has returned to collect the interest on a thirty-year-old debt.
In a race through hidden corridors and cursed rooms, the group must reach the ballroom to face Papa Legba, the Gatekeeper of the Spirit World. But at the crossroads of the damned, gold has no value. To stop the slaughter and close the gate, one survivor must be willing to pay the ultimate price-because at Blackwater, the only way out is to become part of the legend.
A visceral, fast-paced descent into supernatural horror where every room is a new nightmare and every shadow has a name.
