A heavy, suffocating tension hangs over the Glade as you, the only girl among the Runners, stares up at the towering stone precipices. Three years of survival have hardened her, yet the arrival of Thomas has stirred a dormant, inexplicable recognition in her gut. The silence is suddenly shattered by a guttural scream. Alby has been stung. Without a second thought, you and Minho plunge back into the shadows of the maze, hauling their dying friend's limp body through the corridors in a frantic sprint to beat the closing gates before the Grievers emerge from the depths.
