Ever woken up with that 'Where am I' feeling? Yeah, most people have. Was the place /where/ you woke up a death trap (complete with man-eating monsters, lava, and all sorts of abnormal crap) that you'd been chosen to be shoved in? Probably not. Except that whole death trap scenario's exactly what happens to Marty Collins, a sixteen-year-old girl who finds out her name was drawn for the infamous Labyrinth. The Labyrinth being a giant maze underneath the United States, created for the sole purpose of population control. Here, it's kill or be killed, save for a few strange tribes and alliances. Marty's /not/ clueless... But she isn't exactly sure what to do about being stuck in the maze, either. That is, until she meets a few companions that further complicate every freaking aspect of her new life, turning her world completely upside-down. Well, there's no such thing as a pleasure in a death trap, right?

On the outside, Maritza Obscura seems like your typical emo/goth girl. In reality, that couldn't be less true. Daughter of multi-millionaire Anthony Obscura, she lives in a huge penthouse apartment on Park Avenue in NYC. But there's a catch. She is the only Paranatural alive. She can see vampires, ghosts, and the like, but she can't tell other humans. Her born duty is to protect the world from rogue vampires, werewolves, etc., without the world knowing about it. It's her job to keep balance in the world, even if it means risking her own life in the process. All goes well until one day, she meets a newly Turned vampire, and they start falling for each other. Harmless, right? No. Paranaturals technically count as human, and humans can't date paranormal beings. Can they manage to keep their love a secret, or will they just forget about each other? And what about the fate of the world, which rests on Maritza's shoulders? Will she be able to hold it up? Or will it come crashing down around her?
