Description

He was my savior. My monster. My obsession. My destruction.

*A scorchingly hot modern retelling of Ariadne and her Minotaur.*

Ariadne Vitalis is in trouble. She's betrayed her father—and his dangerous benefactor—and now she's left to rely on Olympus' questionable mercy. But in this city, mercy comes with a price. For Ariadne, that means a sham marriage to Dionysus. She has no choice but to agree, even if there's only one man she's ever wanted—a man she fears just as much as she desires.

The Minotaur never had any illusions about Minos's plans. He was willing to get his hands dirty as long as the old man kept his word—at the end of their bloody work, the Minotaur would be given Ariadne as a reward. She's meant for him, and he intends to have her, no matter the cost.

Ariadne knows better than to encourage the Minotaur—she's all too aware of how hot a passion like theirs can burn. Besides, she can never forgive him for the terrible things he's done, and he can never change. But when his hands are on her body and his wicked words are whispered in her ear, she might just be willing to let all of Olympus burn…

Publisher's Weekly Review

Taking on the myth of Ariadne and the Minotaur, bestseller Robert's scintillating seventh Dark Olympus romance (after Midnight Ruin) whisks readers along on a fast-paced thrill ride through the dystopian city of Olympus. Ariadne Vitalis has long lusted after her criminal father's fixer, whom she knows as Asterion while the rest of the world only knows him as the Minotaur. But after she loses her virginity to Asterion, gets pregnant, and betrays her father, Ariadne is on the run. Fleeing from the city's outskirts to the center of Olympus, she forms an uneasy alliance with some of her father's sworn enemies and decides to have an abortion before starting a new life, free from her father's grasp. But her father, enraged, insists that Asterion find and kill his wayward daughter. Asterion accepts the assignment, but his real motive is to be with Ariadne again. He sets out to protect her and her brother, Icarus, while eliminating their enemies. This has all the elements Robert's fans crave: twisty plotting, moral ambiguity, larger-than-life characters, and some deliciously filthy sex scenes. This series just keeps getting better. (Aug.)
