**The mesmerising retelling from the woman at the heart of one of Ancient Greece's most famous myths.**
'I absolutely adored this book and am encouraging everyone I know to buy a copy.' READER REVIEW
'The last few pages will easily become tear soaked. I loved every minute of this book' READER REVIEW
'A lyrical, insightful re-telling' - Daily Mail
'If you like Madeline Miller's Circe and Song of Achilles, you will eat up Ariadne [. . .] Saint makes it a page-turner' - Glamour
'Exquisitely written and exceptionally moving, this is a mythical retelling to savour.' - Elodie Harper, author of THE WOLF DEN
'ARIADNE gives voice to the misused Princess of Crete who betrayed her father to save Theseus from the Minotaur. Relevant and revelatory.' - Stylist
Ariadne, Princess of Crete and daughter of the fearsome King Minos, grows up hearing stories of gods and heroes. But beneath the golden palace something else stirs, the hoofbeats and bellows echoing from the Labyrinth below. Every year its captive, the Minotaur - Ariadne's brother - demands blood.
When Theseus, Prince of Athens, arrives as a sacrifice to the beast, Ariadne sees in him her chance to escape. But helping Theseus kill the monster means betraying her family and country, and Ariadne knows only too well that drawing the attention of the mercurial gods may cost her everything.
In a world where women are nothing more than the pawns of powerful men, will Ariadne's decision to risk everything for love ensure her happy ending? Or will she find herself sacrificed for her lover's ambition?
ARIADNE gives a voice to the forgotten women of one of the most famous Greek myths. Beautifully written and completely immersive, this exceptional debut novel is perfect for fans of CIRCE, A SONG OF ACHILLES, and THE SILENCE OF THE GIRLS.
'Saint's immersive novel thrusts the reader straight into the heart of Greek mythology with this wonderful reimagining of the story of Ariadne.' - iPaper
'What happens after the monster is defeated and the princess leaves with the hero? Jennifer Saint's ARIADNE is a shimmering tapestry of two sisters bound by deceit and the shadows of family history. . .With a fresh voice and keen insight, Saint adds flesh and bone to an ancient myth, drawing the reader into an uneasy world of ever-afters.' - Yangsze Choo, New York Times bestselling author of THE NIGHT TIGER
WHAT THE READERS ARE SAYING...
'Stunning writing, fabulous storytelling and surprisingly real characters who you could empathise with'
'This is an essential book in the new and rising volume of retelling from the women's point of view - so revealing and questioning. The ending 5 pages of this book killed me.'
'So real, so matter of fact, like a good chat on a girls' night out.' &

My brother, the minotaur.
Oh how much I simply love Jennifer Saint's books. She has such a wonderful way of telling a story, the pages fly by without you even noticing it and she always manages to catch me off guard even with stories I basically know already. Multiple times I had to put the book down and, sometimes just stare at it, sometimes take a breather and sometimes grab my phone to tell my friend (the one I always bother with details of my books.) This was the second time I read Ariadne, last time on holiday when it had just released and I think I loved it even more this time.
