The Shifting Maze

What starts as an escape room becomes a fight for survival and a battle against a secretive organization pulling the strings.

Daria thought it was just a game, a bizarre, high-stakes escape room in an abandoned building in Chicago. But when she wakes up with a group of strangers, each with no memory of how they got there, it quickly becomes clear that this is no ordinary puzzle. The maze is alive, shifting its walls and unraveling their secrets with every move. And the consequences of failure are far more than losing a game, they’re deadly.

As the group navigates this psychological labyrinth, their survival depends on one thing: trust. But when pieces of their pasts start connecting to the maze, they realize they’ve been targeted for a reason. This isn’t just a test, it’s a recruitment, orchestrated by a shadowy organization known only as Project M.

Exposing the Truth Could Cost Everything.

When the group manages to escape, they find themselves fugitives in a world that feels just as treacherous as the maze. Project M’s influence stretches farther than they ever imagined, into governments, corporations, and law enforcement. With classified files and damning evidence in hand, Daria and her team must unravel the extent of the conspiracy while evading Project M’s relentless operatives.

Every step forward brings them closer to dismantling the organization’s web of control, but it also reveals a deeper truth: Project M isn’t just recruiting, it’s reshaping the world. And they’ll stop at nothing to erase the people who’ve exposed them.

For fans of psychological thrillers, high-stakes suspense, and conspiracy fiction, this gripping novel explores what happens when ordinary people are forced into extraordinary battles against the unknown.
