Summary

Vespera Thorne didn’t wish for a brother to be taken. She didn’t even believe in magic—until she dismantled an antique, impossible mechanism found in the attic of a condemned estate. When the clock struck thirteen, the walls of reality didn’t just bend; they shattered. Now trapped in a realm of shifting corridors and deceit, Vespera isn’t looking for a way home. She’s looking for the source of the realm’s fractured gravity. She is a restorer of broken things, and she realizes that the Labyrinth itself is dying. The Goblin King, used to children pleading for mercy, finds himself fascinated by a woman who analyzes his kingdom with a cool, calculating eye. As the maze begins to collapse, Jareth is forced into an uneasy partnership with the one person who doesn’t fear him—and who might be the only one capable of fixing the heart of his empire before they are both consumed by it.
