The world is full of danger, cruel and twisted, broken into pieces of desert, city, ocean and forest all sprawled over these lands that have been left scorched by the sun.
Elaine is only 16 when her mother, Ava Paige, sends Elaine to what she thinks is 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.
What if the first one into the maze was a girl? What if she had rule over all the boys?
She's strong and everyone else knows it. And now there's another girl, and they're so close to leaving the maze, she has to be stronger than ever. Especially as she finds out her father had something to do with putting her in the trials.
But within her there's the side no one gets to see unless she wants them to. Only one person has ever come close to seeing that side. The boys she's been with the longest, her second in command.
A bond lies between them people have tried, but failed, to break. But through the trials, through the pain, both are scared of loosing the other, and feelings can become dangerous, when theres so much you can lose.
