The Beast's Labyrinth
(2024)(The third book in the Fairmyth Chronicles series)
A novel by Abigail Manning
Beauty and the Beast meets The Minotaur and the Labyrinth
Theabelle Aynna does her best to be a silent servant to the great divine one of puzzles, but finds it hard to keep a low profile when his son insists on seeking her attention. Ceyden is convinced they’ll make a good match, with him loving her beauty and her needing his financial support, but Thea isn’t willing to trade her freedom for luxury. Convinced Thea just needs some persuading, Ceyden stages a little trouble for her family, leaving Thea with the options of marriage or the worst sentence any criminal could face...
Deep under the surface of Olympia lies the greatest prison of all time, the labyrinth. With no one ever having escaped it alive and rumors of a vicious beast serving as the executioner within, even the most powerful divine ones fear being sentenced to the prison. When forced to decide between the shackles of a soulless marriage or a dark maze, Thea chooses to descend into the darkness. As a last resort to save his desired bride, Ceyden steals the one item that might help Thea find freedom... a strange rose his father keeps under lock and key.
As she descends into the beast’s labyrinth, she might find more than just a monster within. With the strange rose in hand and the clothes on her back, can Thea escape the maze? Or will something inside urge her to stay...?
