When Theseus, Prince of Athens, arrives in Crete as a sacrifice to the beast, Ariadne falls in love with him. The Minotaur – Minos’s greatest shame and Ariadne’s brother – demands blood every year. ‘My story would not be one of death and suffering and sacrifice, I would take my place in the songs that would be sung about Theseus, the princess of who saved him and ended the monstrosity that blighted Crete’Īs Princesses of Crete and daughters of the fearsome King Minos, Ariadne and her sister Phaedra grow up hearing the hoofbeats and bellows of the Minotaur echo from the Labyrinth beneath the palace.

Do you really need the blurb? ok ok let’s head to the blurb and find out Ariadne’s voice and story of mythical story. I would also like to say happy publication day and that I am so happy and grateful to start off the tour on its release into the wild. I was so excited to receive this book… I had to delve in straightaway. I would also like to say a huge thank you to the creative talent Jennifer Saint for giving voice and life to a hidden character who essentially got ignored due to (dashing hero *eye roll*) when she was pivotal in helping him find a way to overcome his adversary. I would also like to say a huge thank you to Wildfire Books for gifting me a copy of this truly wonderful book, I am always incredibly grateful. I would like to say a huge thank you to the wonderful Anne Cater and Random Things Tours for organising this extraordinary, gorgeous book’s tour.
