You can't ignore Fate and you can't defy the Fates. That was once the most important rule known to the mortals of Earth and the gods and goddesses of Olympus. Feared by even Zeus, king of the gods, they were respected by the Greek pantheon. The three Fates, fabled immortal goddesses, spin, measure, and cut each and every being’s thread of life. Outliving even the gods and goddesses, they have seen their legacy discredited as mere myths. But in the modern world when the earth is slowly falling apart and Fate is constantly tried, Fate sends Atley Moira and her sisters a box containing a note that proclaims "they're returning" and fifteen life strands that are slowly turning immortal. Things tend to get a little out of hand when the gods have no idea what they are or what to do with their emerging abilities and it’s up to the Fates to conform the new gods and goddesses to their ways once again. Why have they returned and when will they learn to stop baiting fate?

Persephone Flemming has died, and upon being judged by celestial beings, she's damned to Hell, but she finds out for herself that Hell isn't exactly what it's rumored to be. Hell is a modern metropolis, where anything you could possibly want is at your fingertips, where violence, sex, alcohol, partying, drugs, food, and everything else is in endless supply. There are no rules and no consequences for giving in to every dark desire. But is it too good to be true? Something is up with Hell's rulers, and when they all start to take interest in Persephone, she's not sure whether to drink up the attention or run as far away as possible. So when does the torture begin, or has it already started?
