The unmissable new YA Greek myth re-imagining from Bea Fitzgerald, TikTok superstar and triple-Sunday Times bestselling author of Girl, Goddess, Queen, The End Crowns All, and A Beautiful Evil.When Ariadne, Princess of Crete, vows to help free the Athenian prince, Theseus, and his fellow tributes - sacrifices for the monster which allegedly lurks beneath her palace's floors - she hopes she will free herself from the savage rule of her father, too.Instead, she finds herself abandoned on an island the morning after Theseus has sworn love and marriage - watching his ship sail away without her.In return, Ariadne swears revenge. Which is all very well - except for the aforementioned being abandoned on an island thing. Luckily for her though, the island happens to belong to a god. Alright, currently a fairly minor one (though only if you think wine and partying are minor concerns) - but it quickly turns out Dionysus and Ariadne may be able to help each other.Dionysus needs followers to maintain his fragile, threatened power. Ariadne wants to stop Theseus from seizing any more of it. Together, they may be able to make a story so extraordinary, it will elevate them both to the status of legends.Ariadne isn't interested in real love any more - of course - which is a shame, as there's something irresistible about the pull between her and Dionysus - even if he is completely infuriating. But their union brings the one thing they’ve both been looking for: power.And Ariadne is going to unleash that power on every so-called hero. She’s going to bring their labyrinth of lies crashing down, brick by brick. No story is safe… and even the gods should prepare to tremble . . .
