Isolation can be devastating. But love...can destroy everything around you. For Persephone, isolation is being kept under the suffocating gaze of her mother, treated like a child and forbidden from interaction with her own kind or the mortal people under her care. For Hades, isolation is a deadly gift, a silent and lifeless kingdom that he alone rules -- and that cuts him off from all that he would consider family. But when the winds of chance throw two love-starved souls together, it heralds the end of the universe as they know it.... #1 in HadesxPersephone (09/18/22) #2 in Persephone (09/27/22)

Callie is surprised to find that her new kingdom isn't what she imagined, and neither are those who call it home. Callie wants to be bitter, but she cannot understand why this man - this god - sparks a desire in her that she has never felt before. But all is not well in the Underworld. Someone is after Hades' throne, and they want to open Tartarus once and for all. Callie and her new husband must travel between the Underworld, Earth, and Olympus to gain help from some larger-than-life gods and fix everything before it's too late.

Synopsis: The regret hits her only after 17-year-old Ivy realizes that she's falling for him again, though she knew that he used to love her when she didn't feel the same way. While Ivy was feeling a bit hopeless after she changed schools, moved to the city and cut ties with everyone, several odd and unintended incidents that would make Malcolm appear into her life again kept occuring, again and again. Later in the book: After meeting each other again at age 19, it's clear that things aren't the same as before. No more school-drama, gossiping and immature choices as they take a step closer to adulthood. Now realizing that their lives ended up in different paths, their love is supposed to be fought for as they continue facing the difficulties and potentially life-threatening dangers of the world. ... The wound from an arrow shot is painful. But what makes Cupid's any more different? It all eventually leads to something even more painful than a wound. We can't forget about jealousy, obsession, rejection and so on. How can someone want to avoid falling in love, but fail to dodge the arrow? Even worse, when two people don't get shot at the same time, not leaving the feelings mutual and balanced. I'm impatient, we can't wait for one another each something year. I've been shot multiple times now, switching my attention from person to person. However the affect of the same wound still comes and goes after several years, making it hard for you to get out of my head. I dislike it. But I guess I just need to forget all about it.

Harbouring knowledge unknown to any civilisation, about Gods of the Multiverse, she awaits a fate like no other. But there's always more to her actions.

And a new organisation called IMG, is unknowingly dragged into this chaos, leading to an unfathomable event that changes all of their lives. The Galactic Patrol, the body of law and order, is depressed over the turn of events. But even when the sky seems so dark, some light shines through the gaps. And this time, it would change the Multiverse once and for all. Would death be their end? Or would there be something after death itself, that'd pose a greater promise? This is a race against space, time and what lies beyond. Be prepared, because what you might witness next may change everything you know, or believe!
