The writing's on the wall in this tense YA fantasy novel where the
Traitors
meets
Hunger Games
.
Sixteen-year-old Tanvi wakes up in the dreaded Daedelum Maze, a secret prison for the worst of the worst. Her memories stolen along with her past, Tanvi must work with four other lost teens, all different, all with forgotten pasts like Tanvi, who are trapped with her:
Pheelan, the privileged, but timid, mage
Larabel, the ice princess with more secrets than she has put downs
Roeger, the big bruiser with a dangerous temper
Niirah, the pauper thief just trying to survive
And then there's Singer. Half-Fey, part jailor, part saviour, the strange and alluring boy becomes Tanvi's guide in the maze as she and the others work together to unravel their pasts. All the while the mysterious and wicked Overseer Ossiltree forces Tanvi and her new 'friends' through harrowing tests of character designed to break her will, her mind, and perhaps, worst of all, her heart.
