About The Book
In this thrilling sequel to Exquisite Ruin, AdriAnne May’s darkly romantic reimagining of the Minotaur myth, Sadaré and Daesra are torn apart in the underworld—and new relationships may complicate their way back to one another.
Sadaré and Daesra’s struggles go beyond the deadly labyrinth as Sadaré is trapped in the underworld after a new enemy emerges, and Daesra will risk everything to rescue her.
But the god of death can be tempting. With every passing day, Sadaré grows closer to her captor. As she’s drawn deeper into his world, the memories of her past—of Daesra—begin to slip away. And the closer Daesra comes to saving her, the less she remembers wanting to be saved.
If Daesra can reach her in time, will she still remember him? Or will their love be the next piece of her to die?

– New York Times bestselling author Jacqueline Carey
"AdriAnne May's lyrical prose weaves an epic story of love, betrayal, and the depths we are willing to explore in order to untangle the complexities of the human heart. From the first page, I was utterly entranced, navigating the maze alongside Sadaré, Daesra, and the loveable Pogli. Exquisite Ruin is an exquisite masterpiece that one will savor long after the final page is turned."
