Persephone was not dead. He had waited so long. Hoped so long. And finally Hades had proof that his love was truly not dead. But at what cost? Thea does not know what to make of the nightmare she had the first night she slept in her new dorm. Neither does she have any memory about the new tattoo on her neck. Is it a weird ballerina? Is it a trident? Hell knows. The only thing she's sure of is that if she finds out, her life will change forever.

What if Demeter, Persephone's mother who was heartbroken at her daughter leaving her and enraged by the fact that she would be in the Underworld, spread lies about their story? This tale sheds new light on what happened between Persephone and Hades, and it shows that there can be light in the darkest of places, and darkness in the sunlight.
