Sadaré wakes in a labyrinth, remembering nothing except that she is a powerful sorceress. Her only ally (or is he an enemy?) is an immortal being named Daesra—beautiful, dangerous, and demonic—who bound his soul for power and revenge.
Though they mistrust one another, they have no choice but to work together if they are to reach the center and defeat the monster who prevents their escape. But the longer they wander, the more dangerous and strangely alive the maze becomes.
As sorceress and demon develop a tenuous truce and the labyrinth gives Sadaré glimpses of their shared history, she finds herself drawn to Daesra in ways that make her question everything. Uncovering the secrets of her past may be the only way to survive and heal their entwined fates—but as the two learn more about the betrayals that brought them to the labyrinth, Sadaré begins to fear that the monster at the center of the maze could be Daesra...or herself.

I wanted to like this book. However, for a Labyrinth retelling, I found it quite boring. I also just felt like the main characters were having the same conversation over and over again and it was so tiring. I wasn't connecting with Sadaré or Daesra which also led to me not wanting to continue. I even put it down for a bit and then came back to it and it still wasn't hitting so I decided to DNF.
