A Quest for Deliverance: An Ariadne and Theseus Retelling

Lives of Legends #4 / 5
by Cara E. Ruegg
A Quest for Deliverance: An Ariadne and Theseus Retelling (Lives of Legends #4) by Cara E. Ruegg
Unrated

Ariadne has never believed in the gods her father worships, the ones who demand blood sacrifices and rule with fear. She knows the truth: they’re not gods, just people with strange powers—like her. But in a court where power is everything, revealing her secret could make her a pawn in her father’s ruthless game.

When a stranger arrives, immune to her abilities and shrouded in mystery, Ariadne is drawn to him. But falling for him could be her undoing, especially when her father condemns him to the Labyrinth, a maze that no one escapes alive. Determined to save him, Ariadne ventures into the maze herself, guided by her hidden magic and an unlikely ally.

A Quest for Deliverance, a retelling of Theseus and Ariadne, is a standalone no-spice novella, complete with tropes like forbidden romance, enemies to lovers vibes, and self-discovery. It is part of the “Lives of Legend” series, a collection of twelve retellings of Greek myths where the tragedies become happily ever afters. Each book is written by a different author so it can be enjoyed in any order. The proceeds from this series are donated to the Human Coalition to provide for mothers facing crisis pregnancies.
