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.

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?
