A goddess is taken to the underworld as the king's bride; her father knew everything and her mother knew nothing. In this retelling of the Hymn of Demeter, mother and daughter will do whatever it takes to free themselves, no matter the cost. Book I of The Triple Moons' Chronicles * Up in the sky, in a world between myths and lies, lives a daughter caged on an island. She is Persephone. The beautiful Persephone, whom every Olympian god wants to marry-they all want her beauty to conceal their ugliest secrets, but only Hades manages to take her to his realm. He dwells below the earth, across the river Styx, between Tartarus and the Isle of Blest. No mortals can see his forbidden land until they pass away. Forced into marriage by her father Zeus, Persephone would resign from her fate. But when her grieving mother, Demeter, comes close to killing all the mortals, Zeus orders her back to her homeland. Given and returned against her will, Persephone takes charge of her life and eats six pomegranate seeds before leaving. Food from the underworld can't be eaten as it will tie one to the land. As her decision pushes her closer together and apart from her loved ones, Persephone's destiny turns worse. Only she may have the power to change her world for the better. *** CW: While written in a lyrical style, this story is advised for mature audiences only.

Their only hope lies in the form of a child from an advanced race of beings, and she will need to be trained.

I used to think it was beautiful, and even romantic, but now I see how sad it really is. How cruel it is to leave them like that - with no hope to reunite again; to left them dry - alone, discarded, abandoned, shattered, just a faint resemblance to their former beauty. And I, I'm just like them, a shattered and abandoned _rose_, with no chance of ever regaining my wholeness." That's how this story began - with me getting my heart broken. Again! *** An ugly truth shatters the life Rose had built up, after fleeing from the past, showing her that the walls she had raised around herself were made out of straw and hay and only one strong gust of wind and they're already down. A letter brings back the past and intertwines it with the present in a last attempt to restore what it was or destroy it forever. And it is a love letter. A love letter that Rose once waited for, that now she had stopped dreaming of, and that could change everything, one way or another. The love letter Rose receives takes her on a path she never thought she would take, so to recreate the past or finally come to terms with it. But who sent it and why it turns out to be a more complex question than she ever thought.

There was something about her soul. The air was frozen, come the day of the service. The ground wore a muddy overcoat. All stood gathered round the casket, speechless for lack of adequate words. Only Margaret came forward, a single sheet of paper enfolded between her numbing fingers. "I hate funerals." ~ "You amaze me, I'm telling you-out of all the people I've known-I've never-" She closed the breathless space between their lips. ~ Yes, she caught my eye, but how could she not? To think I might have missed her, had I walked a different path around the stars. (UPDATED REGULARLY)
