Book Synopsis
When twelve-year-old Ethan and his fifteen-year-old brother Lachlan explore the ruins of an old mansion on the edge of town, they expect cobwebs and creaking floorboards—not a living labyrinth of puzzles, inventions, and riddles designed by a forgotten genius known only as The Maze Master.
At first, it’s a thrilling discovery—a hidden world where every corridor hides a clue and every door demands a solution. But as they delve deeper, the puzzles grow stranger, the air colder, and time itself begins to twist. When an unfinished invention explodes, nearly injuring Lachlan, the brothers realise they may have wandered far beyond the world they know.
Meanwhile, back in town, police and family search desperately for the missing boys. Rumours resurface of another child who vanished into the mansion years ago and returned broken, whispering nonsense about riddles that never end.
Trapped and running out of time, Ethan must solve the final puzzle—a wooden cube filled with impossible geometry—to unlock the truth behind the Maze Master’s purpose. What he discovers will change him forever.
The Maze of Forgotten Minds is a gripping adventure of mystery, danger, and brotherhood—where courage is tested, time is fluid, and the greatest puzzle of all is discovering who you are.
