The Minotaur's Claim

“I haven't decided yet what to do with you. But push me, and I'll show you exactly how monsters fuck their prey.”

When Lysandra's village offers her to the legendary Minotaur King, they dress her in white and call it honor. But she knows the truth—she's payment for their prosperity, a virgin bride for a monster who rules an impossible maze between worlds.

She expects death.

She doesn't expect him.

Asterion has guarded the labyrinth for years, watching sacrifices come with their fear and their resignation. But this one enters his domain with fire in her eyes and defiance in her spine. This one looks at his monstrous form and asks questions instead of screaming.

This one might just be his undoing.

Welcome to a world where shadows have opinions, monsters have hearts, and the only thing more dangerous than entering the labyrinth... is wanting to stay.
