Androgeo, el joven príncipe de Creta es asesinado durante los Juegos de Atenas, lo que provoca una crisis diplomática sin precedentes que amenaza con destruir el equilibrio de poder en el mar Egeo. Para impedirlo, Atenas acepta un tributo anual impuesto por los reyes de Creta: siete doncellas y siete mancebos serán condenados a entrar en el laberinto del temible Minotauro. Mientras tanto, la princesa Ariadna, a la que han educado para gobernar con mano de hierro, sueña con una vida más allá de los confines de la isla. Cuando el heroico Teseo, heredero al trono de Atenas, acude a Creta para poner fin al tributo de sangre, el éxito de su expedición dependerá de la enamoradiza Ariadna. ¿Aceptará ayudarle a vencer al Minotauro? ¿Se mantendrá fiel a su estirpe real o traicionará a su familia para huir en compañía del joven ateniense? En la línea de las novelas mitológicas de Madeleine Miller, asombra del laberinto reinventa la historia de Teseo, Ariadna y el Minotauro desde una nueva perspectiva atractiva y moderna. Montse de Paz da protagonismo a los personajes femeninos del mito y nos descubre su lado más humano y actual en una narración apasionante sobre el amor, la familia, la traición y el poder. Androgeus, young Prince of Crete, is murdered during the Athens Games, which triggers an unprecedented diplomatic crisis that threatens to destroy the balance of power in the Aegean Sea. In order to stop this, Athens accepts an annual tribute demanded by the King and Queen of Crete: seven maidens and seven young men must be condemned to enter the labyrinth of the dreaded Minotaur. Meanwhile, princess Ariadne, who has been raised to rule with an iron fist, dreams of a life beyond the confines of the island. When the hero Theseus, heir to the throne of Athens, arrives in Crete to end this tribute of blood, the success of his quest will be up to the lovesick Ariadne. Will she be willing to help him defeat the Minotaur? Will she remain faithful to her royal bloodline, or will she betray her family to flee with the young Athenian? Along the same lines of Madeline Miller’s mythology novels, reinvents the story of Theseus, Ariadne, and the Minotaur from a fresh, attractive, and modern perspective. Montse de Paz gives prominence to female characters in the myth and unveils their most human and current side in a passionate narrative about love, family, betrayal, and power.
