Synopsis

A Swordmaiden's hand is not easily wonTheseus, king of the Court of Knowledge, is desperate. With the barrier to the Realm of Monsters wearing thin and the chaos of Midsummer Night approaching, he needs to do something drastic to save his Court. If he doesn't secure warriors to protect his Court from the monsters, his people, the Great Library, and all the knowledge of the Fae Realm that it contains could be destroyed. That leaves him with the choice to either bargain with another Court and hope the price isn't too steep or face deadly trials to win the hand of Queen Hippolyta of the Court of Swordmaidens, a court of mysterious warrior women. Marriage seems like the better option, but the trials prove to be trickier than Theseus feared. Even worse, he finds himself drawn to Ariadne, the serving maid, instead of the cold-hearted Queen Hippolyta. Will he have to choose between his heart and saving his Court?

I've read the entire Midsummer Night Mayhem series, but not the short stories. Luckily the author is now releasing them in paperback so they can look pretty on the shelves. On top of that it means that reading them is now counting towards my "physical books read" statistics. So, when I had another s......more

Goodreads review by Rosalyn on July 05, 2024

This book was a great short story that explained King Theseus and Queen Hippolyta's romance. Ever since I first read Forest of Scarlet, I was interested in their romance and what had happened. This book did not disappoint. I never realised that this book was a retelling of Ariadne and the Labyrinth......more
