Reading Bones, Seeing Evil: I Feel My Way Through Deadly Trials

Rules-based horror + bone-reading mysteries + cosmic horror! Lu Yan possesses the uncanny art of reading bones. He can trace the past, control skeletons, and empower lingering souls, but the price is steep: every use shortens his life!

One day, he is swept into the Chinese-style horror gauntlet known as the Bone Soul Altar. Failure means becoming a bone puppet, imprisoned for eternity. A ghost wedding in an old mansion, a deadly opera, a hospital rife with poison and curses... Countless lethal rules conceal deadly traps. Reading the bones, he glimpses the truth behind his great-grandmother's brutal death, then discovers that the mastermind, Liu Xuan, is deeply connected to his own bloodline!

As whispers from a deep-sea cocoon of bones echo through the darkness, the heirs of the Thirteen Bloodlines each harbor their own schemes. Will they work together to break the deadlock, or become someone else's pawns? Lu Yan has only one choice: burn through his remaining years to fuel his secret bone-reading art, fight his way out of one deadly trial after another, and uncover the ultimate terror looming over them all...
