The description also points to questions of allegiance and hidden identities, including the connections between Thomas, Teresa, the Gladers, and Group B. Positioned as a story about how the Maze came to be, the book adds context to the series’ central setting while keeping WICKED’s secrets and the characters’ loyalties in view.
