As a fine china shop safety consultant I am always amazed to find how much red cloth they tend to employ in their displays. Green, I tell them. Black, even. Not red. NEVER red!
Some listen. Some go out of business very, very fast.
A dark fantasy romance inspired by the Minotaur myth.
Asterius escaped the Labyrinth years ago — but the myth never let him go. Once the Order's most feared warrior, he now hides as a quiet tavern keeper, wanting nothing more than to be forgotten. When a reckless young knight comes to drag him back to the gods, violence and glory he abandoned, Asterius tells him the story of Wind Petal - the woman who first saw the man inside the monster, and gave him a reason to choose an ordinary life.
