When Odeesa "Dessa" wakes in the Box, she remembers nothing-except the feeling of running, the echo of pain, and the shadow of a boy she can't name. The Glade is supposed to be a fresh start, but for Dessa it's a cage filled with half‑memories, buried scars, and the constant threat of the Maze that once defined her.
Once a fearless runner, now a medjack haunted by a sting that nearly killed her, Dessa fights to keep her walls high and her secrets buried. But everything fractures the day Thomas arrives-confused, reckless, and far too familiar. He remembers her in dreams. She remembers him in flashes. And neither of them can outrun the truth forever.
As tensions rise in the Glade, friendships strain, and the Maze grows deadlier, Dessa is forced to confront the past she tried to forget. A brutal attack leaves her changed-physically, mentally, and emotionally-unlocking memories of WCKD, of the girl she used to be, and of the boy she once loved.
In a world built on lies, pain, and survival, remembering might be the most dangerous thing of all.
