"The Maze takes everything. But she held on to one thing."
Elise Jones wakes up in the Glade the same way everyone else does: confused, nameless, afraid. But unlike the others, she doesn't fight to belong. She stands apart, quiet, observant, and always touching the small silver heart around her neck - the one thing they couldn't take from her.
As the Maze shifts and the Glade grows restless, Elise begins to sense something wrong in the rhythm of it all - something hidden. The locket may be more than just a relic of her past. It may be a message. A warning. A test.
And as the lines between survival and trust blur, a quiet bond begins to form with someone who's always running, and might finally have a reason to stop.

The answers lie deep within its treacherous corridors, but will finding them cost Rylie everything, including herself?Complete
