Synopsis

NEW EDITION: Get a taste of the super-sexy TikTok sensation with these dazzling new editions – unmissable for long-time Dark Olympus fans and Greek mythology alike.

Books 1-7 are now available with gorgeously reimagined covers and a connected design on the full set.

A scorchingly hot modern retelling of Ariadne and her Minotaur, from New York Times and USA Today bestselling author.

“He was my saviour. My monster. My obsession. My destruction.”

Ariadne Vitalis is in trouble. She’s betrayed her father—and his dangerous benefactor—and now she’s left to rely on the questionable mercy of Olympus. 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…

Repackaged with striking new artwork, this is the definitive way to enjoy this mythological romance tale that promises to take readers on a darkly seductive journey.

This is probably the darkest book in the series so far, though can be read as a standalone. I think it's worth mentioning like anything Robert's writes, ex... READ MORE
