Hexed

Six university students with relatively normal, boring lives are thrust into a game that none of them asked to play. Enter Penny, Benji, Lyla, Glenn, Eleanor, and Oliver: young adults with little in common and even less reason to ever cross paths on their large campus. But after being lured to the same place, they awaken in a mysterious room with no memory of how they got there and no explanation for why they were chosen.  When they return to their lives, they discover they didn't leave empty-handed.  Each of them has been marked, changed. And now each of them possesses an ability that shouldn't be possible.  At first, understanding what they've become is difficult enough. But as the six strangers are drawn together, one thing becomes increasingly clear: whatever happened to them wasn't an accident.  Someone chose them. And the game has only just begun.  Disclaimer: all content published is my own original work (except the cover. That was created by AI).
