You wake up in an island with a thousand strangers, no escape, and no memory except your name. Then the voice comes: “Welcome to the island of Ashbound. The games begin now.”

The first task is simple, write your name. Fail, and you vanish. But that’s only the beginning. In this place, survival is entertainment, betrayal is strategy, and beauty is always laced with blood.

One night you’re standing in a ballroom of chandeliers, masked and dressed like royalty. The next, someone collapses mid-dance, a victim of the masquerade’s price. Every game is crueler than the last. Every alliance is temporary. Rue knows she’s here for a reason. Remi knows love may be the deadliest weakness of all.

And both of them will learn that in the Labyrinth, the real question isn’t how do you survive? it’s how much are you willing to lose before you do?

Fans of The Hunger Games, Squid Game, and The Maze Runner will be consumed by this haunting YA dystopian thriller where the tower never forgives, the masquerades always demand blood, and the Labyrinth itself watches every move.
