Elaine is only 16 when her mother, Ava Paige, sends her to what she thinks is her death. Her death in the form of a trail, The Maze Trails. Memories wiped, fear filled and with secrets and stories written all over her body, the doors of the box open. She finds many things in those Maze Trails, friendships, love, kindness, empathy. But now she has to find her bravery, her resilience, her ability to keep going, and even a little bit of that darkness she's been trying to hide away. She must keep going. She must keep her friends alive. She must not be afraid. She must not fail.

100 teenagers sent down to earth, only 5 survived. Cassandra, an orphan everyone had heard about but had never truly met. She was sent down to Earth, her father hopeful that she'd survive, he'd trained her and taught her. Bellamy Blake, a stowaway who was never supposed to be on that drop ship. He'd committed a horrible crime to protect his sister, but through it all his feelings grew for a certain blonde he knew nothing about. Yet in all the chaos, these two seemed to always find each other in the devastation. Both came down from the ark, affected by the laws of the chancellor, and somehow found comfort in each other. Or at least a warm body to help them sleep through the night.
