The Ones I Love the Most ❂ Newt

Julia arrives in the Glade as the first girl, emerging from the Box with mysterious scars and a mind fractured by trauma she can't remember. This is her complete journey-from her terrifying first moments with no memory of her own name, to the climactic escape from the Maze.

Haunted by fragments of a stolen past, Julia battles demons from her past while trying to survive in a world designed to break her. Her story spans the depths of despair-panic attacks, self-harm, and a near-fatal suicide attempt-to slowly learning to trust, fight, and live again.

With Newt as her anchor, Julia navigates the Glade's dangers, becomes a Runner, and builds fragile relationships when survival depends on unity. From her lowest point with a blade in a bathtub, to finding purpose in the gardens, to standing with her fellow Gladers as they uncover WICKED's truth and fight for freedom.

But healing isn't linear, and the Maze holds secrets that threaten everything Julia has built. As memories surface and Thomas's arrival shakes their world, she must confront the monsters in the Maze and in her own mind. When their sanctuary becomes a battleground, she'll discover that sometimes the most broken people possess the strongest will to survive.

A story about darkness and the light that slowly, painfully breaks through. About learning that scars don't define us, and that the most fractured souls can forge the most unbreakable bonds.
