Forgotten Heroes #2
Trial By Fire
Hayden and Caleb escaped the maze, but Yidra's deadly game has only begun.
Up A hostile world. Impossible choices. And a test that has defeated everyone who came before them.
Survival means more than staying alive. It means holding onto who you are when every option requires compromise. As Hayden and his team face challenges designed to break their resolve, they must decide whether to adapt to win, or refuse to become what Yidra expects.
Now they'll discover what happens when the enemy isn't out there.
It's who they might have to become.

Multiverse done right
This book has renewed my interest in reading all of the other series that aren't Sheriff Duke related. Tons of characters are introduced that I should know but don't. Hayden and Caleb start to disagree on how to end Ydira's threat and I think it's only going to continue. I hope my suspicion about the ending is wrong, but I'm preparing for the worst.
