Percy and the Underworld
totalturtletrouble
(NOT IN ANY WAY ASSOCIATED WITH PERCY JACKSON!! Sorry...)
Percy Hathaway loved flowers. She would spend her days in her mother's flower shop just admiring Nature's handiwork. Her father, Deuce, loved gambling. His time was spent sitting at a poker table, a cigar in his mouth and a beer in his hand. One night, a young man by the name of Haden Donahughe approached the game he and his friends were playing. He asked if Deuce Hathaway would take a bet: if he lost, Deuce would have the support of The Underworld, Haden's gang. But if he won, Haden would be awarded the hand of Percy.
Based on the Myth of Persephone

Set in modern times!
