When Zachary Rawlins stumbles across a strange book hidden in his
university library it leads him on a quest unlike any other. Its
pages entrance him with their tales of lovelorn prisoners, lost cities
and nameless acolytes, but they also contain something impossible: a
recollection from his own childhood.
Determined to solve the puzzle of the book, Zachary follows the clues
he finds on the cover — a bee, a key and a sword. They guide him to a
masquerade ball, to a dangerous secret club, and finally through a
magical doorway created by the fierce and mysterious Mirabel. This
door leads to a subterranean labyrinth filled with stories, hidden far
beneath the surface of the earth.
When the labyrinth is threatened, Zachary must race with Mirabel, and
Dorian, a handsome barefoot man with shifting alliances, through its
twisting tunnels and crowded ballrooms, searching for the end of his
story.
