Minotaur: A Short Story

Summary

From New York Times bestselling authors Andrews & Wilson, Minotaur is a high-concept take on an ancient story perfect for fans of A Quiet Place and Bird Box.

The Minotaur never died.

His “death” was a myth—a lie told to comfort the world. Asterion, the beast of legend, still walks among us. Immortal, cunning, and endlessly hungry, he hides in plain sight luring victims into the ancient labyrinth beneath Crete, feeding on those foolish enough to enter the maze.

But this spring break, the hunter becomes the hunted.

Mina, a modern descendant of the labyrinth’s architect, has always been haunted by dreams of the maze. When she inherits her grandmother’s mysterious medallion, she can no longer resist the pull to Crete. She convinces three friends to go with her … unaware they’re walking into Asterion’s trap.

Now, Mina must outwit the immortal beast in his own domain—before she and her friends become the next sacrifice to the Minotaur.
