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.

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?

This is an erotic romance. Recommended 18+! Completed. Excerpt: His mouth was back on mine in an instant, the door behind us rattling loudly as he thrust against me. "Does the geriatric kiss you like this?" He mumbled against me as his teeth nipped at my already swollen lips. I pulled back once more, my heighted state of emotions, my anger taking over. "What if I said I don't want you?" A devilish grin took over as one of his hands slid along my thigh, under my skirt, his fingers tracing over the soft, damp material of my underwear. His mouth moved down to my neck, nipping at the juncture between my shoulder and neck. "I would call you a fucking liar." I tried to bite back the moan as his teeth skimmed my neck, before sinking in hard, his fingers pushing under the edge of my panties. He hesitated for a moment, waiting for me to stop him. I didn't want him to stop. One finger slid over my folds before pushing into my entrance, sinking in deep. He groaned in pleasure, his erection twitching against my core as his finger began to move.
