Ophelia's sister has vanished. The only way to save her is to enter Phantasma—a deadly contest inside a haunted mansion. Ophelia must face nine lethal challenges to claim the prize: a single wish. As she navigates the maze of twisting corridors and lavish ballrooms, Ophelia confronts demons and temptations, with only one victor allowed. When a mysterious stranger, Blackwell, offers to guide her through the trials in exchange for ten years of her life, Ophelia is drawn to his charming yet arrogant allure. But in Phantasma, the greatest danger may be falling for Blackwell's seductive bargain.
