Book Summary

The story of Theseus and the Minotaur is legendary, but in Ariadne, Jennifer Saint turns the focus to the women at its heart. Ariadne and her sister Phaedra are daughters of King Minos of Crete, bound by the legacy of their family’s curse. When Ariadne aids Theseus in slaying the Minotaur, she expects a life of love and freedom—but gods and men alike have other plans. With lush prose and mythological depth, Ariadne explores the sacrifices women make for love, the complexities of fate, and the resilience of those history has forgotten.
