EVERY FOUR YEARS, THE LABYRINTH AWAKENS. It shifts location, resets its deadly puzzles, and demands a new game. The rich pay for clues to find it and keys to get in, while the poor fight for entrance. This year, the first to reach the center wins control over the renowned trade vessels. Strange, because Ren specifically remembers her father—the captain—promised her those ships. But her father had the misfortune of going missing before revealing Ren as his hidden heir. And she’s never actually met him. Only through scraps of letters she keeps in a trunk, promising he’d return to the island for her someday.
There isn’t time for her father to explain. Ren has until sundown to find the labyrinth and get inside before its entrance is sealed.
Even if she makes it through the gate, she must race against others who are just as determined as she is—and far deadlier. Then there’s the Labyrinth Wolves. And the Stone Gods. And the son of her father’s enemy who takes a personal interest in Ren. She will fight for her birthright through wits, strength, and perhaps a bit of luck to be the one at the helm with her future begins.
May you find yourself in the labyrinth.
At least, may you not lose yourself.

MY THOUGHTS
The labyrinth was an intriguing, mysterious, foreboding, and wondrous place. And it was also quite possibly the only way for Ren to claim her rightful inheritance and, possibly, even figure out what happened to her missing father.
I admired Ren’s determination and spunk. She was very stubborn at times and set on doing things her own way, but she was also a very likable heroine who was easy to root for.
Clark was a great guy. His steadfast devotion and loyalty to Ren was endearing. I loved seeing his kind heart.
Leif was a bit of a mystery, but I was very eager to learn more about him.
This was an exciting and heart-pounding read. I never knew what would happen next. It definitely kept me on my toes! The labyrinth was dangerous and always changing. I loved it and am so anxious for book two! If you’re a fan of high-stakes fantasy, grab a copy of this book! I highly, highly recommend it!
FIVE STARS
