A mesmerizing retelling of the ancient Greek myth.
Ariadne, princess of Crete, grows up greeting the dawn each morning with dances and listening to her nurse's stories about gods and heroes. But beneath the golden palace, the constant thumping of her brother's hooves, the Minotaur, a monster that demands blood sacrifices, echoes.

When Theseus, the prince of Athens, arrives to slay the monster, Ariadne sees in his green eyes not a threat but a means of escape. Defying the gods, betraying her family and country, and risking everything for love, Ariadne helps Theseus kill the Minotaur. But will Ariadne's decision ensure her a happy ending? And what will happen to Phaedra, her beloved younger sister, whom she leaves behind?
