Fae Gods: Maze

by Philinna Wood

Published 31 May 2023

Greek mythology and fae fantasy romance collide in this sweeping story of divided loyalty and forbidden love.

I am the daughter of the king, and he is the fae monster my father sent me to kill.

For years, the people of my kingdom have whispered tales of the monstrous Minotaur in the depths of an underground maze. Every night, he enters my dreams. His golden eyes capture mine. His horns caress my spine. And I always wake drenched in fear.

He's waiting for me, I know.

But when I venture into the darkness, I find that the monster is in fact a handsome man, cursed by the fae gods to roam the maze. Trapped in the labyrinth with him, I start feeling something that I know I should not-a strange desire wells up within me.

My heart is torn between my loyalty to my kingdom and the man whose loneliness echoes my own.

As we attempt to escape the treacherous maze, secrets that were meant to remain hidden in its depths beg to be revealed, and with them comes a love so forbidden yet so powerful that it could forever change my life.

 

Author's note: The story is a loose reimagining of the Greek myth of the Minotaur, and it is a standalone fae fantasy romance with an HEA.

Greek mythology and fae fantasy romance collide in this gripping reimagining of Hades and Persephone, filled with magic and mystery.

For as long as she can remember, Aeliana has been running from a prophecy of the Fates: “The fae god of the underworld will take you in a flowery meadow.”

Aeliana goes into hiding in the capital, serving mortals in taverns and eluding the dreaded god who wants to drag her to his bleak underworld and make her his wife.

But what the Fates have woven can never be undone. And so when two men attack Aeliana and take her to a flowery meadow, she knows that there is no escaping her fate.

He is coming for her.

Fae Gods: Underworld is the second book in the Fae Gods series, but readers do not need to have read the first book in order to enjoy this reimagining of the Hades and Persephone myth.
