A Game of Life and Death is Triona Campbell’s stunning debut YA novel, published in 2023.
When sixteen-year-old Asha Kennedy discovers her older sister Maya’s dead body in their home, her world falls apart. Desperate for answers and to stay out of the hands of the social services she grew up in, Asha turns to her hacker friends for help.
Her search leads her to Zu Tech, the hit games studio where Maya was a lead coder. As Asha begins to unravel the riddle of her death, she realises that the only way to uncover the truth is from the inside.
Asha ghosts her old life and infiltrates a Zu Tech eSport tournament as they launch ‘SHACKLE’, the revolutionary Virtual Reality video game Maya was working on – and which hides a monstrous secret…
A Game of Life and Death is an original and unputdownable read. It’s hard to believe it’s Triona’s debut. Her world building and how she draws you in to Asha’s life from the very first paragraph is superb. Asha’s reintroduction to the world she left behind and to Dark…. well, we could not put it down.
The ending was a cliffhanger that had us shouting and then frantically googling to see if we could find out when book 2 in this wonderful series would be out.
A book from a fantastic new author that you will not regret reading!
