Ariadne is the daughter of King Minos of Crete, son of Zeus, and Pasiphae, daughter of Helios. She is the sister of the Minotaur. When she sees Theseus, the Prince of Athens, arrive as a tribute for the Minotaur, she is horrified. How can he give himself willingly to the monster? She must do something to save him but if she does, what price will she pay?

This is a retelling of the traditional Greek myth with a twist. It is more personalized since the story is written in the first-person point of view of Ariadne and her younger sister Phaedra. The author also included Daedalus and his son Icarus with the wings of wax. I was hooked from the beginning and couldn’t stop reading until I finished the book. If you enjoy mythology, you will love this version.
