    The labyrinth is a death sentence. And I’m trapped inside with a monster. 
    I’m being imprisoned for a crime I didn’t commit. My sentence is brief—only three months—but it doesn’t matter. No one gets out of the labyrinth alive. 
    The underground prison is home to the minotaur, a bull-shifter so feral and violent, he has never been allowed to walk the streets of our city. 
    Or so the legend goes. Nobody who’s seen him has ever lived to tell the tale. 
    When I’m dragged to the labyrinth to carry out my sentence, the skeletons littering the ground tell me all I need to know. The minotaur is a killer and a monster. 
    But this monster doesn’t want to just kill me. What he has planned is much worse. 
    He wants to toy with me—to chase and stalk me. 
    Until I’m his. 
    This story is a re-imagining of the classical Greek myth of the minotaur. In this version, there are no heroes and the monster gets the girl. All explicit scenes are consensual and a Happily Ever After is guaranteed.

    A gripping and heartfelt horror-tinged space adventure from the BSFA award-winning author of Stars and Bones and Embers and Becky Chambers. Readers of James S.A. Core will love this fast-paced story of space piracy, deadly alien artifacts and a race to save what is left of humanity. 
     
    When archaeologist Ursula Morrow accidentally infects herself with an alien parasite, she fears she may have jeopardised her career. However, her concerns become irrelevant when Earth is destroyed, billions die, and suddenly no one needs archaeologists anymore… 
     
    Two years later, she’s plucked from a refugee camp on a backwater world and tasked with retrieving the artifact that infected her, as it just might hold the key to humanity’s survival. With time running short, and the planet housing the weapon now situated in hostile territory, she realises she’s going to have to commit an act of desperate piracy if she’s going to achieve her objective before the enemy’s final onslaught. 
     
    A thrilling, page-turning journey into deep space where the fights are brutal, the relationships are complicated and the world ended years ago.
