The eagerly anticipated - and final - new YA Greek myth re-imagining from Bea Fitzgerald, TikTok superstar and triple-Sunday Times bestselling author of Girl, Goddess, Queen, The End Crowns All, and A Beautiful Evil

When Ariadne, Princess of Crete, vows to help free the Athenian prince, Theseus, and his fellow tributes - sacrifices for the monster which allegedly lurks beneath her palace's floors - she hopes she will free herself from the savage rule of her father, too.

Instead, she finds herself abandoned on an island the morning after Theseus has sworn love and marriage - watching his ship sail away without her.

In return, Ariadne swears revenge. Which is all very well - except for the aforementioned being abandoned on an island thing. Luckily for her though, the island happens to belong to a god. Alright, currently a fairly minor one (though only if you think wine and partying are minor concerns) - but it quickly turns out Dionysus and Ariadne may be able to help each other.

Dionysus needs followers to maintain his fragile, threatened power. Ariadne wants to stop Theseus from spreading rumours of his own greatness any further. Together, they may be able to make a story so powerful, it will elevate them both to the status of legends.

Ariadne isn't interested in real love any more - of course - which is a shame, as there's something irresistible about the pull between her and Dionysus - even if he is completely infuriating. And he is the first person to agree with her that women can be more than just footnotes in men's myths.
They have a power of their own.

And once that power is unleashed - the men of Ariadne's story, and even the gods themselves, should prepare to tremble . . .

Praise for This Divine Revelry

Fun and empowering, this witty feminist retelling offers a fresh perspective on Ariadne's tale. It is romantic, captivating and delightful - I loved it!

Ravena Guron, author of This Book Kills

Bea Fitzgerald is a YA powerhouse - this fun and fresh take on the myth of Ariadne and Dionysus is simply unmissable.

Erica Stevenson, author of The Odyssey Effect

The best of Bea Fitzgerald: fury and passion alongside the silliest jokes. A sweeping romance with a tender exploration of gender, self expression and transness. I couldn’t have loved it more!

Lizzie Huxley-Jones, author of Reality Check

Bea truly knows how to make romance epic! Utterly compelling, this is a brilliant and sweeping take on a classic myth, as well as a gorgeous story about finding joy in a harsh world, and fighting for it.

Beth Reekles, bestselling author of The Kissing Booth

With her trademark lightness of touch and screwball wit, Bea Fitzgerald brings an ancient love story to the modern age. Her Ariadne is bold, funny and fearless - a perfect counterpart to the wild but vulnerable Dionysus. A snappy, refreshing and unique reimagining of a timeless myth.

Jennifer Saint, bestselling author of Ariadne

Brutal and seductive, a lush retelling for those who crave romance with teeth and red wine. This book is ripe with pleasure and delicious from start to finish.

Connie Glynn, bestselling author of The Rosewood Chronicles

Desire, revenge and rebellion - this is Bea Fitzgerald at her absolute best. With electric chemistry, delicious humor and a heroine filled with rage and heart, This Divine Revelry is a fierce - and cathartic - reclamation of myth and female power.

Kika Hatzopoulou, Sunday Times Bestselling author of Threads That Bind

A grumpy-sunshine romance, a sharp tongued heroine and a soft hearted hero, all come alive with Bea Fitzgerald’s sparkling, witty prose. This is a hugely enjoyable read and a wonderful edition to her mythical quartet.

Elodie Harper, bestselling author of The Wolf Den

Brilliantly imaginative, fiercely joyful and utterly addictive, This Divine Revelry is Bea Fitzgerald at her very best. I raced through this book and loved every minute of Fitzgerald's excitingly fresh take on Ariadne and Dionysus' legendary love story, one that overflows with humour, heart and hope. This book is a party you definitely don't want to miss!

Rosie Hewlett, bsetselling author of Medea

‘Witty, totally addictive, and filled to the brim with pining. I devoured this like the Gods themselves demanded it! No one reimagines Greek Myth quite like Bea Fitzgerald.’

Julia Penning, GoodReads review

Boldly feminist, sex-positive and beautifully free from the limits of gender roles. Equal parts rage-inducing and heart-fluttering.
