UNDERGOING MAJOR EDITING Castiel is an only child of Hades and Persephone. He's a Demi-God, arrogant, spoiled, with a heart turned black instead of red. Every millennia the 'Old Gods' are replaced; and as the only heir to the Underworld throne, Castiel - newly twenty-one - is in need of his equally sinister other half to rule beside him and must first marry before taking his rightful place on the throne. And thus, each God chooses six girls from all around the world above to compete for the darkest heart of them all. ------------------------------------ Told from the point of view of a competitor, Ariel Caverly is newly dead and offered the choice of a lifetime: become the new Queen of the Underworld or face Judgment. She's a small town London girl with more secrets than friends and is thrust into a world full of love triangles, hard decisions, betrayal and friendship found in the most unlikeliest of places. Ariel is every inch a Queen even without a crown. Just because she's dead, doesn't mean her life is over . . . it's just a new beginning.
