ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
Along the same lines of Madeline Miller’s mythology novels, The Darkness of the Labyrinth follows the story of Theseus, Ariadne, and the Minotaur from a fresh, attractive, and modern perspective.
Androgeus, young Prince of Crete, is murdered during the Athens Games, which triggers an unprecedented diplomatic crisis that threatens to destroy the balance of power in the Aegean Sea. In order to stop this, Athens accepts an annual tribute demanded by the King and Queen of Crete: seven maidens and seven young men must be condemned to enter the labyrinth of the dreaded Minotaur. Meanwhile, princess Ariadne, who has been raised to rule with an iron fist, dreams of a life beyond the confines of the island. When the hero Theseus, heir to the throne of Athens, arrives in Crete to end this tribute of blood, the success of his quest will be up to the lovesick Ariadne. Will she be willing to help him defeat the Minotaur? Will she remain faithful to her royal bloodline, or will she betray her family to flee with the young Athenian?
