The Hunt occurs every fifty years. Deep within the realms of the divine, on the island of Crete, lay the labyrinth of Knossos. Deep within this labyrinth, a beast has lurked for millennia. Insane, hungry, and alone the beast aches for vengeance and freedom. To keep this monstrosity sealed away, the gods each pay penance every fifty years, in the form of an offering. Twelve virgins are sent into the labyrinth, tasked with finding the center and unlocking the secrets of the maze. They must face the monsters that lurk within, confront the monstrous beast, and survive the treacherous terrain. They are given to the beast in the event known as the Hunt. No one has ever come out alive.
Maeve Wallace is lusting for some adventure and magic in her life. Tired of the monotony of office living, she quits her job and packs her bags on a trip to Greece alone. After a moonlight ritual gone wrong, Maeve finds herself bound to the goddess Artemis, who demands she enter the labyrinth as her champion. As she enters the battlefield, she finds herself stalked by the mysterious being who hides in the shadows. Will she find her way to the center of the labyrinth? Will she survive the arduous journey, and discover the dark secrets the gods have kept locked away? And will she survive the overwhelming emotions ignited by the Lord of Shadows?

Arlo Sarsons - Wrath of Amaterasu
Hey. I'm Arlo Sarsons. If you're holding this book, I'm deeply sorry. You've clearly ignored all the warning signs. This isn't some fun little adventure where I learn life lessons and ride off into the sunset with a big heroic grin. Nah. This is the kind of story where things catch fire for no reason, mysterious people talk in riddles, and I end up in places that probably don't exist on Google Maps. There are monsters. Probably. Secrets? Definitely. And me? I'm just trying to stay alive long enough to figure out what the hell is going on. So if you're expecting something cheerful and heartwarming... maybe try literally any other book. Still here? Cool. But don't say I didn't warn you.

I hear the growl first and my lips part at the husky sound. A feeling stirs within me that I've never felt before. A pair of large grey eyes stare at me through the foliage. My heart races and my breath is taken away. As soon as they were there they were gone. Only one word continued to ring throughout my head that I could recognize. "Mate," I whisper.Complete

Echidna's Beasts
The gods call her Deichlana. Meaning, "The dread of Olympus", but Laia Galanis prefers not to think about that. For years, it was easy enough to ignore the monsters lurking in alleyways-or the fact that someone tried to kill her every few months. Then Zagreus, a brutally charming assassin with ties to the Underworld, arrives with orders to drag her into a brewing war between Olympus and the Underworld. And suddenly, ignoring things becomes impossible. Because Laia is no mortal. She is the last daughter of Typhon and Echidna-primordial monsters powerful enough to threaten the gods themselves. Favored granddaughter of Gaia, the family matriarch who has her heart set on regicide or whatever it takes to remove Zeus and company from power. Now Olympus wants her dead, the Underworld wants to use her as a weapon, and ancient creatures she once believed existed only in myths are affectionately calling her "little sister". Worst of all? Laia is beginning to realize why the gods were right to fear her in the first place. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 🎻🐾Updates Wed & Fri🐾🎻
