Description
Ariadna, princesa de Creta, crece escuchando historias de dioses y héroes. Bajo el dorado palacio, sin embargo, resuenan los cascos de las pezuñas de su hermano el Minotauro, un monstruo que exige sacrificios de sangre. Cuando llega Teseo, príncipe de Atenas, para derrotar a la bestia, Ariadna no atisba amenaza alguna en sus ojos verdes, sino una oportunidad para escapar. La joven desafía a los dioses, traiciona a su familia y a su país, y lo arriesga todo por amor al ayudar a Teseo a dar muerte al Minotauro. Pero... ¿le asegurará esa decisión un final feliz? ¿Y qué sucederá con Fedra, su adorada hermana pequeña, a quien deja atrás? Hipnótica, vertiginosa y absolutamente conmovedora, Ariadna forja una nueva epopeya que cede el protagonismo absoluto a las mujeres olvidadas de la mitología griega que luchan por un mundo mejor.
Description
"A mesmerizing debut novel for fans of Madeline Miller's Circe. Ariadne, Princess of Crete, grows up greeting the dawn from her beautiful dancing floor and listening to her nursemaid's stories of gods and heroes. But beneath her golden palace echo the ever-present hoofbeats of her brother, the Minotaur, a monster who demands blood sacrifice every year. When Theseus, Prince of Athens, arrives to vanquish the beast, Ariadne sees in his green eyes not a threat but an escape. Defying the gods, betraying her family and country, and risking everything for love, Ariadne helps Theseus kill the Minotaur. But will Ariadne's decision ensure her happy ending? And what of Phaedra, the beloved younger sister she leaves behind? Hypnotic, propulsive, and utterly transporting, Jennifer Saint's Ariadne forges a new epic, outside the traditional narratives of heroism and glory that leave no room for women"--,Provided by publisher.
