Synopsis

"This is perhaps one of the best and the most entertaining young adult/mythology/epic novels I have read so far this year" - Readers Favorite Review

Ariadne is stuck, caught between the island she loves and the adventure she craves. As the daughter of a powerful king in Ancient Crete, her life is an endless circle of weaving, sewing and learning to rule. She knows what’s expected of her, but she wants more than to be married off to a prince. She wants adventure and a life of her own. To know what's lies on the other side of the sea.

When Dionysus, the God of Wine arrives, she’s instantly drawn to his reckless good looks and mysterious power, but she knows it’s dangerous to mix with the gods. Still, she can’t deny the connection between them.

Crete maintains a shaky peace with Athens, which is enforced by the Minotaur imprisoned in the labyrinth. When Theseus arrives to challenge that peace, everything changes. Ariadne soon discovers that all is not what it seems on her beautiful island. Although she knows Theseus is the enemy, she starts to think he might be right. Even worse, underneath his tough exterior, she glimpses a softer side that makes her think it might not be so bad to marry a prince. Unfortunately, her sister sees it too.

To do what’s right, she’s faced with an impossible choice. Joining forces with Theseus could bring freedom and unite their countries, but it means betraying her father and losing everything she knows. What will she do when she’s torn between a god and a warrior? Does Ariadne have the strength to carve out the life she wants?
