The Court of the Bull

Crete. The reign of King Minos. Every spring the king feeds the thing at the centre of his maze. This spring, he’s feeding it you. About the book You’re one of five condemned prisoners led out into the Court of the Bull to hear your sentence read before the king. That night the bronze door of the Labyrinth closes behind you. Nobody who goes in comes out. But someone down there leaves bread at the crossroads. Five figs, one for each of you. The cheese is wrapped in a fig leaf with the stem tucked under. The Court of the Bull is a retelling of the Minotaur myth from inside the maze, then out of it, until you end up back where you started, at the Court. Choose who you are, what you look like, and who you were before you were condemned to the Maze. Your love interests Asterion, the man in the maze Seven feet tall, horned, and alone for twenty years. He bakes terrible bread, speaks Cretan out of old hymns, and keeps his hands clasped behind his back so you’ll know he isn’t going to use them. “There. Now you have seen.” Damon of Lyttos, the deserter Bloodied, chained and grinning at the king. He talks constantly because it keeps the dark off. He’s in the maze for something worse than desertion, and he’ll tell you what when there’s a sky. “So. I’ve never been eaten before.
