"You can push me away all you want, Lia, but I'm still gonna be here."
"Why? Why would you do that?"
"Because someone has to remind you that you deserve more than just surviving."
Liora, known as Subject A12, remembers three things when she wakes in the Glade: the name of her sister, the thrill of running, and the chilling legacy of a father she doesn't want to claim. As the second Glader and the Sentinel among the Runners, her sharp mind and unyielding strength make her a vital part of the group-but secrets as dark as the Maze itself threaten to unravel her carefully built walls.
Minho, the sarcastic and confident Keeper of the Runners, sees Liora as an enigma he can't quite crack. Her biting humor and fierce independence challenge him in ways he didn't expect, especially when he realizes she's carrying a burden that could break anyone else.
With WCKD's grip tightening, the Maze becomes more than a test-it's a fight for survival. As Liora battles to uncover the truth about her past and protect the family she's chosen, her partnership with Minho deepens in ways neither of them are ready for. Together, they'll face the Maze, their own demons, and the dangerous line between love and survival.
But in a world built on betrayal, will Liora's secrets destroy the trust they've fought so hard to build?
"I've been through the Maze, faced Grievers, and fought WCKD... but you? You're the only thing that's ever scared me."
"Why?"
"Because losing you would be worse than all of it."
"How do you do it? Keep smiling when everything's falling apart?"
"Because if I stop smiling, you might stop fighting. And I can't lose you, Liora. Not you."
