"A woman is seduced -and enlightened- by a fascinating and dangerous god in an secretive mythological London."
In a hidden theater in London's West End, the ancient mysteries of Dionysus come to life. Julia, a solitary writer burdened by her rigid upbringing, stumbles into a world steeped in myth and ecstasy. Drawn to the enigmatic actor Daniel, who embodies the god Dionysus with haunting allure, she is swept into an intoxicating realm of oracles, ritual, and forbidden knowledge.The line between reality and myth blurs as Julia's fascination deepens, binding her to Daniel and the dark secrets of Arcadia. When a ritual murder and a cryptic message unfold before her, Julia is confronted with a life-altering choice: to cling to the safety of the familiar or to embrace the god's call to transcend mortality.
For readers captivated by magic realism and mythological depth, Arcadia unveils a tragic journey of passion, revelation, and the primal forces that lie beyond ordinary life. Samantha Devin delivers an unforgettable tale that revives the ancient gods in our modern world, resonating with the mystique of Euripides and the philosophical intrigue of modern tragedy.
Fans of Donna Tartt's haunting intellectual depth in The Secret History and Neil Gaiman's myth-infused mystery in American Gods will find Arcadia an unforgettable journey into the hidden realms of ancient gods and the mysteries that lurk beneath the surface of modern life. Samantha Devin's tale pulls readers into a world where mythology and reality collide, revealing dark, primal truths that leave a lasting impression. Praise for Arcadia: A Modern Tragedy
