Part of Lore Olympus
First published 2021
Persephone arrives on Olympus after spending her youth in the mortal world under her mother Demeter's protection. She has promised to train as a sacred virgin, but the glamorous divine realm offers temptations her sheltered upbringing never prepared her for. At a party thrown by her roommate Artemis, Persephone encounters Hades, the enigmatic lord of the Underworld. Their instant connection defies everything she thought she knew about herself and her future. As gossip spreads through the divine court, Persephone must learn to navigate Olympian politics while discovering her own hidden abilities. The other gods watch her every move, and her relationship with Hades threatens to upend the careful balance of power among the immortals. Persephone faces a choice between the safe path her mother planned and the dangerous pull of her own desires.
