Out of the Labyrinth

The earth trembled, the great pillars of Knossos cracked, and the labyrinth collapsed into dust and flame. In that final horrific instant, as gold coins cascaded into the abyss, you made an impossible choice: you turned your back on unimaginable wealth and reached into the choking smoke to haul your bitterest rival from the debris. Now, washed ashore on the sun-bleached rocks of ancient Crete in 1375 BCE, you are broken, penniless, and hunted by the shadows of your past. The rival whose throat you once swore to cut now breathes only by your mercy, and the old gods of earth and sea watch from the crags above, demanding a reckoning for what you took—and what you left behind. To survive the harsh Mediterranean wilderness and wash the blood from your hands, you must walk a treacherous path between vengeance and grace. Can a thief born in darkness find rebirth beneath the blinding Aegean sun, or will the ancient curse of Knossos drag you back into the deep?
