Matt arrived at the reading of Grandfather’s will ready for his moment of ascendance. As the only living male heir, the family’s wealth now belonged to him.
During the ceremony, Matt’s seat was eclipsed only by that of the adjudicator. Grandfather was known for his love of pomp and grandeur, so it was only after many arcane rituals and benedictions that the adjudicator cracked open the will. “The heir shall find his bequest inside the labyrinth.”
Next thing he knew, Matt was naked and bleeding at the center of a hedge maze. This was not the inheritance he’d been expecting.
