Chapter 1: The Box

She was never meant to belong here.
Thrown into a world of shifting shadows and towering walls, Naliya wakes with a fractured memory and a fierce resolve burning beneath her calm. The Maze holds secrets-and so does she.
The Glade is a cage for lost boys, but Naliya is something different: an outsider with a past that refuses to stay buried, and a presence that unsettles even the strongest.
No one knows what she's capable of, least of all herself.
In a place where trust is scarce and every step could be your last, Naliya must choose: fight to escape or become part of the darkness waiting just beyond the walls.
