"Curse fate, curse the law, cause I will not yield."
In a world where the supernatural creatures rule the world. Each species with their own continent, peace uphold by the six kings of the board. Only one thing all continents have in common: Humans are trash. As newborn, they're separated from their parents, raised in orphanages to one day serve a master, which are their only purpose.
At the age of thirteen, Nayo Thorn, a human girl is sold to be a slave for the rest of her lifetime. But Nayo holds a grudge, a deep rotten hatred towards the supernaturals. So when she ends up as slave in the royal dragons palace, the so-called strongest species on earth, trouble is promised to arise.
Fighting morals, principles, stereotypes, the law, royalty, classes, and fate itself, Nayo struggles to make a place for herself and find a purpose to life other than being a slave.
A retelling of the Hades and Persephone myth, a story of fate, the struggle for power, and love found in the most unexpected places.
*****
Persephone has been raised in Olympus all her life - her mother absent, her father a cruel king, with her siblings teaching her all they know. She has seen all of what the gods and goddesses do and she is sick of it. When she learns her safety is threatened by staying in Olympus, she flees to the Underworld. There she stays until she learns that her leaving has caused the world to wilt. But leaving behind her newfound friends and Lady of the Underworld is something she will not do willingly, no matter the consequences.
