Beyond that, though, it ultimately crumbles. As a horror confection, the novel succeeds, with plenty of elements to draw reader interest and a fast-moving plot that is sure to have them eagerly flipping pages. Forced to make their way through a series of deadly traps, they find evidence of scientific experiments in immortality gone awry and seemingly inhuman creatures who are both helpful and vicious, all as they search desperately for an escape. Soon, though, the five are trapped within a vast, opulent labyrinth with killers waiting outside and something far more gruesome within. Now, more than two hundred years later, seventeen-year-old Anouk Peerenboom has been invited with four other teens to explore the ruins of that mysterious French palace. In rural France of 1789, teenage aristocrat Aurélie du Bessancourt escaped from a murderous peasant mob into the underground palace built by her father, only to find that the palace and her father were the real terrors she should be fleeing.
