Free Audiobook : A Touch of Darkness (Hades & Persephone Series, Book 1), by Scarlett St. Clair

Persephone’s tired of being the Goddess of Spring when all she does is kill plants with a glance, so she’s ditched the divine life for a shot at normalcy in New Athens. She’s got her sights set on a journalism career, but her overbearing mother, Demeter, has drilled one rule into her: stay away from the gods, Hades most of all. That’s easier said than done when a friend drags her to his shadowy club, Nevernight, and she ends up face-to-face with the man himself.

What starts as a reckless bet spirals into a high-stakes bargain she can’t wriggle out of, forcing her into the Underworld with a challenge that feels rigged. Hades is a puzzle, equal parts intimidating and magnetic, and every encounter with him blurs the line between duty and desire. The deeper she gets, the more she wonders if she’s fighting to escape or falling for the one god she was told to fear.

A Touch of Darkness by Scarlett St. Clair reimagines a classic myth with a gritty, modern edge, tossing gods into a world of neon lights and dangerous deals. This audiobook serves up a slow-burn romance laced with tension and a heroine who’s finding her footing in a game she didn’t choose. It’s a captivating listen that’ll leave you rooting for Persephone, even as the odds stack against her.
