As the immortal king of the Underworld, Hades is accustomed to a life of longing and loneliness. A man of his power and majesty should have no interest in silly, innocent things - and yet the woman who haunts his mind's darkest desires is Persephone, the Earth-bound daughter of the strange and jealous Goddess of Fertility.

Where Hades is dark and cruel, Persephone is bright and sweet. Having lived her young life under her mother's watchful eye on Earth and far from the adulterous corruptions of Olympus, Persephone is inexperienced and easily frightened. Especially when the god of death steals her away from the only home she's ever known and asks her to become his bride.

Seduced, deceived and trapped in the Underworld, Persephone resists her growing fondness and attraction for the tortured soul that is her captor and Husband-to-be. Even when Hades tries to entice her into matrimony with with romance and samples of a life together rich with passion and lust, she resists in the hopes that her mother will come and return her to her simpler life on Earth.

But as a darker storm than she ever imagined brews on the horizon and Hades grows increasingly heartbroken, a choice must soon be made by Persephone – lest she truly lose everything she's come to love.
