Synopsis

Longing. Need. Desire. Hades, the Lord of the Underworld, has never felt any of these in his long life until a chance encounter with the Goddess of Spring. For as long as she can remember, Persephone has always been told what to do, her life dictated by people who believe they know what is best for her without taking the time to understand or listen to her. However, the opportunity to truly be herself awaits her in the most unlikely of places, sparking one of the most famous and enduring relationships that history has ever known...

About this title

From the Author

     Kora turned around, stricken with a sensation of being watched. She slowly turned around, gasping softly as she saw a dark-garbed figure leaned against one of the pillars that enclosed the garden.
      His long black hair was loose, flowing down his shoulders and back, curling slightly at the ends and standing out in sharp contrast with his pale skin. The circle-beard on his face was neatly-trimmed and suited him rather well, displaying the smooth, bold plane of his jawline. He was clad in a blood-red tunic and black trousers, with boots of black leather on his feet. Draped across his shoulders was a plain black cloak of a material that she didn't know the name of since she had never seen it before - velvet - held up with a silver pin.
      Kora stood stock-still as she stared at the stranger as he stared back at her silently, his dark eyes unfathomable as he studied her.
      "Good afternoon," the man said, inclining his head in a slight bow.
      "... Hello," Kora managed to say, her heart pounding.
      "Forgive me for startling you, please. I was merely going to meet with my brother when I saw that he was already occupied with you and Demeter. I am Hades. It is a pleasure to meet you."
Hades? This was Hades? Though Demeter did not like to speak of her family, Kora was not ignorant of the tales and common knowledge that most mortals had of their deities. Hades was supposed to be the oldest of the three brothers, but he actually looked younger than Zeus! How curious.
      "May I assume that Demeter is your mother?" he asked solicitously. She nodded.
      "And what is your name?"
      "Kora. Pleasure to meet you too." She dropped into a slight curtsey, and she was pleased to notice a smile tugging at the corner of his lips. The mortals were so afraid of him, but look. Despite his somber appearance, he seemed like a kind man, with a warm twinkle in his eyes.
