Fire & Fate

by Serena Valentino

First published 2023

Hades never wanted to rule the dead. After he and his brothers defeated their father Cronus, Zeus divided the world between them. Zeus took the sky, Poseidon claimed the sea, and Hades got stuck with the Underworld. Now he spends eternity managing a realm he never chose while his family ignores and shames him. The isolation weighs on him as the years stretch on. Then three living witches somehow find their way into his domain of the dead. Hades sees an opportunity to break his boredom and loneliness. He befriends these mysterious Odd Sisters and strikes a deal with them. The bargain promises to change everything, but Hades doesn't realize the full scope of what he's set in motion. When gods make deals, the consequences ripple far beyond their own stories.
