    "description": "In this darkly romantic reimagining of the Minotaur myth, a sorceress and a demon are entwined in sensual battle to escape a deadly maze and reclaim their freedom.\n\nIn this deadly maze, the most dangerous thing may be the passion between them.\n\nSadar\u00e9 wakes in a labyrinth, remembering nothing except that she is a powerful sorceress. Her only companion is a hostile immortal named Daesra\u2014beautiful, dangerous, and demonic\u2014who bound his divine soul for power and revenge.\n\nDespite their animosity, the two have no choice but to work together to reach the center and defeat the monster who prevents their escape. But the longer they wander, the more deadly and alive the maze becomes\u2014and the more Sadar\u00e9 finds herself drawn to Daesra in ways she can't explain.\n\nAs sorceress and demon develop a tenuous truce, the labyrinth gives Sadar\u00e9 glimpses of their shared history of passion and pain that make her question everything she knows. Unlocking the secrets of her past may be the only way to survive and heal their entwined fates\u2014but as she learns more about the betrayals that brought them to the labyrinth, Sadar\u00e9 begins to fear that the monster at the center could be Daesra ... or even herself.",
