Max has never felt like he belonged anywhere. Not in school, not at home, not even in his own skin. But when a strange mark appears on his hand, he tumbles into a world he was never meant to remember.
Beneath the city lies the Secret Underground - a forgotten world of magic, rebellion, and prophecy. There, ancient runes glow with his touch, strangers whisper his name like a warning, and a war-scarred boy wearing a mask waits in the shadows.
His name is Kane.
His past is Max's secret.
And their future may destroy them both.
Perfect for fans of Shadow and Bone, The Gilded Ones, and The City of Ember, The Secret Underground is a haunting and heart-pounding story about identity, prophecy, and the power of choosing your own path - even when fate has already made its choice.
