Dark Restraint

Dark Restraint is the most plot-heavy Dark Olympus book yet, balancing the series-wide political machinations with a forbidden Ariadne-and-the-Minotaur romance. Asterion (the Minotaur) is a bruiser with a soft spot for curvy hacker Ariadne, and their dynamic crackles. The arranged marriage to Dionysus adds genuine stakes. Content warnings are heavier than average for the series — check before diving in.
