    quest to save the realm of Exandria from dark magical forces. From a sinister
    necromancer to a powerful curse, the group confronts a variety of obstacles that not only

    group of teenagers find themselves bound together by a dark secret and stalked by a
    brutal killer. As they try to piece together who’s after them, they reveal the dark side of
    their seemingly perfect town—and themselves. Everyone is hiding something, and
