Surrendered to the Minotaur
(2025)(The third book in the Amatory Adventures ... Delachatte, Victorian Lady Explorer series)
A novel by Elizabeth Roubaix
When summoning ancient gods goes deliciously wrong, a Victorian lady explorer discovers some myths come with very hard evidence.
Cordelia Delachatte didn't travel to Crete's sun-scorched ruins to be sensible. After her ill-advised honey-soaked ritual summons a serpent deity from the earth — complete with twin appendages and a legion of scaled worshippers — she finds the island doesn’t easily surrender its secrets.
The cult guarding the Minotaur’s labyrinth demands a test. To meet the mythic monster, our lady explorer must survive being mounted inside Daedalus's wooden cow by an acolyte known only as the Bull.
The Minotaur has been waiting centuries for a curious woman aching to take all of him. When his horned shadow fills the doorway and his legendary endowment finds its mark, Cordelia learns that some research requires hands-on experience — and being utterly, ecstatically spread by a creature of divine proportions.
Surrendered to the Minotaur is the 11,000-word third story in The Amatory Adventures of Cordelia Delachatte, Victorian Lady Explorer series. These scorching short stories are for those who prefer their history unbuttoned and their delights forbidden.
