A queen. A mother. A throne built on blood.
Princess Pasiphae is sent to Knossos to secure the throne, but she soon finds herself entangled in a world full of betrayal and sacrifice, between the ruthless ambition of King Minos and the ancient demands of a bloodthirsty cult.
Caught in a struggle for power, Pasiphae must decide how far she will go to protect her children: Asterion, her gentle son marked as a monster; and Ariadne, her brilliant daughter dreaming of a world beyond her mother's control.
But when Theseus arrives and the walls of Knossos begin to fall, Pasiphae must fight to save the fragile legacy she has built, trapped inside the myth that will define her forever.
