A queen. A mother. A monster. A throne built on blood.
Princess Pasiphae of Kolchis is sent to Knossos to secure the throne, but she soon finds herself entangled in a brutal power struggle. As the Mother cult demands blood and Minos seeks to overturn ancient rule, she fights to protect her children; Asterion, her gentle son marked as a monster, and Ariadne, the ambitious daughter who rejects her.
Betrayals, sacrifices, and shifting allegiances shape the kingdoms fate. When Theseus arrives to claim his prize, Knossos falls, leaving Pasiphae to face the ghosts of all she has lost.
