Exquisite Ruin

In this darkly romantic reimagining of the Minotaur myth, a sorceress and a demon are entwined in sensual battle to escape a deadly maze and reclaim their freedom.

Sadaré wakes in a labyrinth, remembering nothing except that she is a powerful sorceress. Her only ally (or is he an enemy?) is an immortal being named Daésra-a beautiful, dangerous, and demonic minotaur who bound his soul for power and revenge.

Though they mistrust one another, they have no choice but to work together to reach the center of the maze and claim the prize of immortality. But the longer they wander, the more dangerous and strangely alive the maze becomes.

As the maiden and the monster develop a tenuous truce and the labyrinth gives Sadaré glimpses of their shared past, she finds herself drawn to Daésra in ways that make her question everything. Uncovering the secrets of her past may be the only way to survive and heal their entwined fates, but as the two learn more about the betrayals that brought them to the labyrinth, Sadaré is no longer sure if the monster at the center of the maze is her partner or herself.
