When her younger sister vanishes, Ariadne follows the trail to a place that shouldn't exist—a vast, eerie maze called Rhyme, where lanterns burn green, time doesn't behave as it should, and the walls whisper nursery rhymes like prayers with teeth.
At the heart of the labyrinth, there's a castle. Inside it waits the Goblin King.
He rules by bargains and riddles, and when they meet, he offers Ariadne one of his infamous deals: reach the castle by midnight, and Ariadne's sister will be returned.
Fail, and she stays in Rhyme forever.
The maze is full of other people who once believed escape was possible, too—lost children, broken survivors, things that were once human and stayed too long. They learned the hard way that Rhyme is not a maze built to be solved. That the doors in this place don’t lead out; they only lead inward. As Ariadne fights to reach the castle, it does seem as if the labyrinth is working against her.
But sentient hedges, ticking clocks, and flesh-hungry monsters aren't the only things she's afraid of. A shadowy presence stalks Ariadne's steps and her dreams. She's not sure if it's the Goblin King or someone else... she only knows that she'll fight anything that gets in her way.
Even her own heart.
A lyrical, darkly romantic fantasy inspired by Labyrinth and tragic, star-crossed devotion, The Secret King is a story about how far we're willing to go for the ones we love... and how much we're willing to sacrifice to save them.
