Ariadna, princesa de Creta, crece escuchando historias de dioses y héroes. Bajo el dorado palacio, sin embargo, resuenan los cascos de las pezuñas de su hermano el Minotauro, un monstruo que exige sacrificios de sangre.Cuando llega Teseo, principe de Atenas, para derrotar a la bestia, Ariadna no atisba amenaza alguna en sus ojos verdes, sino una oportunidad para escapar. La joven desafia a los dioses, traiciona a su familia y a su pais, y lo arriesga todo por amor al ayudar a Teseo a dar muerte al Minotauro. Pero... ¿le asegurara esa decision un final feliz? ¿Y que sucedera con Fedra, su adorada hermana pequeña, a quien deja atras?Hipnotica, vertiginosa y absolutamente conmovedora, Ariadna forja una nueva epopeya que cede el protagonismo absoluto a las mujeres olvidadas de la mitologia griega que luchan por un mundo mejor.Fascinante. Saint resalta con pericia la frecuencia con la que las mujeres de este mundo han de pagar el precio de las acciones de los hombres que las rodean. Los amantes de la mitologia deben adentrarse en esta historia. PUBLISHERS WEEKLY

'Here, Ariadne takes centre stage in a lyrical, insightful re-telling that explores her motivations and emotions and the grievances caused by grumpy, cold-hearted gods and warm-blooded men, who are equally vengeful and self-interested - Daily Mail'The story is well known, of course, but Saint tells it skilfully and, like Miller and Haynes, gives a twist to familiar myth by offering the perspective of women characters' - The Sunday TimesAs 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.The Minotaur - Minos's greatest shame and Ariadne's brother - demands blood every year.
