In this second installment of The Maze Series, readers join Ann, Jace, and Meridia for an adventure that caters to Ann's love of the sea. When the maze transports the trio to the underwater city of Jeritza, they willingly jump into battle to help save the city, its people and their own lives. On this water world, the Jeritzians cultivate and replenish damaged reefs while working with local sea life to maintain a harmonious existence. Ann revels in this aquatic way of living where miniature shrimp serve as toothbrushes, ghastly anglerfish are employed as nightlights and jellyfish are multifunctional. The fast pace harvest games provide food and entertainment for the city's residents, as well as, playtime with the dolphins. While Jace flounders in the water and Meridia scoffs at the strict rules of society, Ann feels as if she has come home. Amid the chaos, love blossoms, new friendships develop and old friends part ways in search of their own adventures in the maze. "What's great about this series is that each book is a new adventure for a different cast of characters. So, you don't have to read them in order," says the author.
