Ariadne tells about her trials as a sixteen-year-old daughter of King Minos, including having to deal with her family's history and a broken heart when Theseus falls for her sister after he comes to slay her brother, the Minotaur.
Based on the Greek myth of Theseus and the minotaur, the tale of a hero who enters a labyrinth and kills a terrible monster with the help of a beautiful princess, Ariadne is written from the princess's point of view.
