A Humbling Maze
To inherit a fortune, Will must survive the maze
His whole life, the maze on the outskirts of the castle grounds had been off-limits, no matter how much he begged. The only person allowed in the maze was the Duke.
Every Halloween, Will had watched his father stride out of the castle, flaming torch in hand, and enter the maze. Every year, he would return white and shaking. This year, he didn’t return. His body was found, face contorted in pain, at the exit.
Will stood at the maze’s entrance, its dark hedges looming over him. To come into his inheritance, he had to find the centre of the labyrinth. After a lifetime of curiosity, he feared to step inside.
