by Hugh Lupton · 2013

+ Want to read

King Minos and Queen Pasiphae's son isn't a child: he's a monster. To keep him fed, his parents demand that every kingdom send seven youths to Crete each year in tribute, never to be heard from again. Theseus is different. He's determined to slay the Minotaur and make it back to Athens in one piece.
