In the end, Michael faces a pivotal choice: become a puppet of the system, helping the Society realize its ambitions, or defy the rules and expose the truth lurking behind the facade.

Seventeen-year-old Yotsuba Emi seems to have it all: wealth, beauty, intelligence, and a bright future as the heiress to her family’s business empire. But her charmed life is shattered when she is suddenly pulled into a deadly phenomenon known as The Maze of Shadows. The Maze is a nightmarish series of ever-changing dungeons where survival is the only rule. Ghosts, vampires, ghouls, and monsters lurk in every corner, and the only way to escape is to complete the dungeon’s tasks before the timer runs out. Failure means death, and survival often demands sacrifices Emi never imagined making. Each dungeon is more dangerous than the last, and the people trapped with Emi—strangers, criminals, even children—rarely survive long enough to reach the next level. Yet, she can’t escape the Maze’s grasp. Every victory only earns her a temporary reprieve before she is thrown into the next, deadlier trial. As Emi fights to survive, she discovers fragments of the Maze’s dark secrets. What is the purpose of these cruel games? Who—or what—created the Maze? And most importantly, can it ever be destroyed? With her sharp mind, unwavering determination, and a growing arsenal of skills purchased with the coins she earns, Emi is determined to find answers. But in the Maze of Shadows, survival comes at a cost—and the price may be more than she’s willing to pay. This novel is a work of fiction.
