Description

An irreverent, snarky, hedonistic reimagining of the myth of Ariadne and Dionysus in a galaxy full of monstrous men and capricious gods, for fans of Lore Olympus and Gideon the Ninth.

Raised amongst monsters, Ariadne Tholos, Crown Princess of the interstellar Cretan Empire, fears nothing more than becoming one herself. But trapped within the labyrinth of imperial politics and the puritanical restrictions of her father, King-Emperor Minos―and his totalitarian regime of militarized death cultists―she might not have another option. When the chance arises, Ariadne seizes her fate and escapes―injured, alone, and in desperate need of help.

Enter Dionysus―the exiled god of wine, madness, and revelry. He needs a Cretan royal to join his cult in order to end his banishment and return home to Olympus. Their meeting is the opportunity he’s been waiting for, but there’s just one problem: the Cretans are heretics, and Ariadne is no exception.

With a vengeful Minos closing in, Ariadne strikes a bargain. She’ll marry Dionysus and “join” his cult. In exchange, he’ll hide her away in Olympus itself. But while Ariadne can handle the deadly politicking of the Olympians, a life of repression has left her unprepared for how powerfully Dionysus’s uninhibited debauchery will call to her darkest desires.

An irreverent, snarky, hedonistic reimagining of the myth of Ariadne and Dionysus in a galaxy full of monstrous men and capricious gods, for fans of Lore Olympus and Gideon the Ninth.
