The game has changed, but the rules are the same. Only the winners get out. This next round is not held in a concrete maze but in a jungle labyrinth. It is not run in groups of four but is instead a single-player game, and for one young woman readying to plunge into the jungle alone, losing is not an option. She has to win, to get out, and not because she wants the prizes promised to the winner. An unexplainable urgency pushes her to win. But when the race begins, nothing is as it seems. Especially her. The gamemakers have their secrets, but she has one of her own. She is about to show them what happens when the prey is really the predator. There Was Only One is the second book in the survival dystopian series The Competition Archives and is perfect for fans of Squid Game, Escape Room, and The Hunger Games. This book ends on a slight cliffhanger, but all questions will be answered by the end of this now completed series.
