Ariadne Audiobook Summary
“An elegant performance by narrator Barrie Kreinik recounts the life of Ariadne…This production, with its outstanding narration, makes the classic story new again. Kreinik is the perfect voice for Ariadne, a noble young woman who bravely stands up for her values.” — AudioFile Magazine, Earphones Award winner
A mesmerizing debut novel for fans of Madeline Miller’s Circe.
Ariadne, Princess of Crete, grows up greeting the dawn from her beautiful dancing floor and listening to her nursemaid’s stories of gods and heroes. But beneath her golden palace echo the ever-present hoofbeats of her brother, the Minotaur, a monster who demands blood sacrifice.
When Theseus, Prince of Athens, arrives to vanquish the beast, Ariadne sees in his green eyes not a threat but an escape. Defying the gods, betraying her family and country, and risking everything for love, Ariadne helps Theseus kill the Minotaur. But will Ariadne’s decision ensure her happy ending? And what of Phaedra, the beloved younger sister she leaves behind?
Hypnotic, propulsive, and utterly transporting, Jennifer Saint’s Ariadne forges a new epic, one that puts the forgotten women of Greek mythology back at the heart of the story, as they strive for a better world.
A Macmillan Audio production from Flatiron Books
“Jennifer Saint’s Ariadne is a shimmering tapestry of two sisters bound by deceit and the shadows of family history…With a fresh voice and keen insight, Saint adds flesh and bone to an ancient myth, drawing the reader into an uneasy world of ever-afters.” –Yangsze Choo, New York Times bestselling author of The Night Tiger
