He was believed to be nothing more than a legend.
However, from the moment I crossed the River Styx and succumbed to his enchanting darkness... he became, unequivocally, mine.
Persephone Dimitriou, a prominent figure in society, had planned to escape the ultra-modern city of Olympus and leave behind the treacherous politics of the Thirteen Houses. But her aspirations are shattered when her mother ambushes her with an engagement proposal from Zeus, the perilous force lurking beneath the glimmering façade of their city.
With no alternatives left, Persephone flees to the forbidden undercity and strikes a deal with a man she once believed to be a mere myth... a man who introduces her to an unseen realm she never fathomed existed.
Hades has dwelled in the shadows his entire life and has no intention of stepping into the light. However, when he discovers that Persephone can provide a taste of the revenge he has sought for years, it becomes the perfect excuse to assist her — but at a cost. Yet with every night spent intertwined in passion, Hades develops an insatiable desire for Persephone, willing to wage war against Olympus itself to keep her by his side...
