An exhilarating tale of deception and determination, hostile ambition and daring heroism perfect for fans of Clash of the Titans, as well as historical fantasy fiction by Madeline Miller, S.J.A Turney, Kendare Blake, and Glyn Iliffe. The Maze of Minos is the third installment in the Osteria Chronicles, a captivating series in which the myths of Ancient Greece come to life as you’ve never seen them before.
Soon after returning home to celebrate his father's recent marriage, Theseus learns his kingdom must submit to the cruel demands of an unexpected enemy. Goaded by his father’s new wife, Theseus volunteers to defend his land by entering a battle to the death in the pitch black depths of an ancient maze. A battle against a monster of the gods’ creation. A battle no other has survived.
Aided by the goddess Aphrodite, Theseus stands a stronger chance of triumph than the other challengers, but as ever, the gods’ kindness harbors ulterior motives. His bravery, his sacrifice, his struggle to push his world back from the brink of war only serves to further Aphrodite’s goals. Goals that will destroy the stability of Osteria and anyone who stands in her way.
