What If Myth

Left behind on an empty island with her adopted son and sister, Ariadne tried to make a new life in the following of the God of Wine. Tried being the operative word. Her sister is appalled by the lovestruck priest of Dionysus wooing her, straining their offered hospitality. Fine. Ariadne had smoothed feathers in her sister's wake since their childhood, though she was tired of it. It wasn't even a hardship to talk to the cute priest prone to kind gestures. Ariadne's past as Mistress of the Labyrinth refuses to stay behind her. Fine. Ariadne was accustomed to violence, keeping the man eating Minotaur corralled since her enslaved childhood. But nothing could prepare her for her son's past coming for him.

Ariadne is offered an incredible opportunity by her lover, Dionysus, the god of wine. He wants her to live with him at the home of the gods, Mount Olympus.The catch? She must stay under a disguise as an immortal satyr, since Zeus has forbidden mortals from stepping foot there. But Ariadne soon discovers that the real danger is to her heart. She may live with Dionysus, but it is not as herself or even his equal. They talk to each other, but not of their true feelings for each other.And, most damning of all, Ariadne may live with immortals but it does not stop her from aging.
