AN INSTANT USA TODAY BESTSELLER!

This special paperback features cover effects, interior character art, and digital sprayed edges.

Labyrinth meets Beauty and the Beast in this spellbinding, sexy romantasy debut about a woman with a broken heart, the seductive immortal who imprisons her, the magical labyrinth that may be her salvation, and the dangerous attraction that could destroy them both.

Her freedom or her heart…in forty-eight hours, she'll lose one forever

When a brutal betrayal leaves Nell heartbroken and alone, she makes a desperate wish for love, recklessly offering anything in exchange.

Her plea is heard by Enver, an immortal as wicked as he is beautiful. He sweeps Nell away to his castle that seems to exist out of time and presents her with a bargain: escape his labyrinth within forty-eight hours or surrender to eternity as his lover.

Nell vows to conquer the labyrinth, despite the dangerous attraction she feels for its monstrous ruler. But every stolen moment with him leaves her craving more. And every step deeper into the castle reveals hidden truths about herself…and the curse that holds Enver captive.

Torn between her desire for love and the dark being incapable of loving her, Nell faces an impossible choice. And her time is running out.

best book I’ve ever read

December 8, 2024

It was amazing!!! So it starts off kind of abrupt and idk just clunky idk how else to describe it but push past the first bit, it quickly gets sooooo good. For the most part the writing is smooth but there are random parts here and there that just kind of feel rushed or a bit clunky again but it’s just short scenes and I feel like it’s probably because the author was trying to not have it be too long since it’s already a pretty long book. But even with the few weird spots the story is simply...

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️ “Every breath I take would be for you. Every inch of my being would belong to you. I could be your sanctuary and your undoing. I would give you everything you ever wished for.

Inspired by Labyrinth - but Wholly its Own Story

January 13, 2026

Have you ever watched Labyrinth and thought, \"I would like my own personal Jareth, please?\" Well, you are in luck as this book is inspired by that very thing - but darker with spice that will require a cold shower after reading. Nell's growth after essentially being a people-pleasing doormat for her ex was amazing. The trials she went through, learning about herself and helping others was a lovely journey. She still has much to learn and I hope to see that growth continued in the next book....

Cool take on retelling but dragged

July 10, 2025

I genuinely enjoyed this book and I read the whole thing in like 2 days. There were a few plot points and twists that I didn’t see coming which is pretty hard to accomplish in a retelling, so props to the author for that. Plus the spice was 5 stars, chef’s kiss, SO good. However I really feel like this book should’ve been 400 pages, not 544. The FMC has so much repetitive internal monologue and introspective dialogue with the MMC about why she feels the way she feels that I was rolling my eyes...

An absolute dream ✨

October 5, 2025

A five-star, new favorite! This book...I have no words. I mean, I obviously have words, but they’re all about the perfection of this book. I've been a fan of Jordan Lynde's writing since high school, when she was publishing her stories on Wattpad, and finding her account again on Instagram was a true delight. Imagine my excitement when I discovered that her new book, Until the World Falls Down, was being published just a couple of weeks later! I knew I had to add it to my TBR, and I'm so glad I...
