Series 1 BOOK 1 Original Release 2013 "I have no sadness, I have no happiness. I have no love, for I am Hades." "Then why did you bring me here?" I stared at the flawless but not taint less Hades who seemed to be mourning inside. I could see everything, and I knew everything about him. And yet, I do not know if he loves me, and I don't know if my love for him is true either. That is why I will test it with a kiss... #1 Hades 🏅 #7 Ares #9 Persephone

Persephone has already been kidnapped by Hades, her unwanted and unexpected suitor. Demeter has already cast a famine on all the humans in her grief. Hades struggles to win Persephone over...but perhaps Persephone has always been meant to be with him, and she wasn't an innocent as she was thought she was... Moderate explicit parts. *not finished* "Look, Persephone, you're a reasonable Goddess, more reasonable than most. You have to understand I was not born the Lord of the Underworld. The title was appointed to me because I was the unlucky one. My job is just as important as my brother's jobs. I wasn't selected because of my cruel ways but now because of the way people speak of me and fear me now I am the cruel one whether or not I like it. Do you honesty think it is fair that it should work that way? People take one look at me and assume I'm the devil." Persephone crouches back in her seat. I realize I am standing and seat myself, trying to calm myself. "Do you honestly think that being in charge of the dead and judging them makes me undeserving of love, of a wife? I'm doomed to be exiled down here. I don't even have the sun to keep me warm, Persephone. You're all the sun I have..." *This story is also not meant to be factually accurate, and is simply an interpretation of the story.

Young Persephone, the curious goddess of Spring, finds her way down to the Underworld where a powerful god waits for her. Hades isn't at all what her mother liked her to believe. Set in an anonymous time, this is the story of the Queen of the Underworld.
