Even as a prince, Maven has lived in the shadows all his life. Not even his mother, who can dive into anyone's mind and read every thought, truly sees him. But then tradition demands that he go to the trenches of the Choke, and there he meets a Red boy who sees right through him. A boy who will change Maven's life, for better or worse. --- *characters and places in this fanfiction pertain to Victoria Aveyard; this is only my creative and imaginative take on Maven's story before the events of Red Queen.
