- Book Two in the Kore Series - * NOT a stand-alone. Please read Kore before reading this novel!* For her entire life, Kore had allowed others to make decisions for her, and had listened when they told her she was weak. She could've kept listening- if they hadn't taken her from Hades. Now, however, she is tired of the captive narrative, and she will do whatever she must to write her own destiny. A tale of star-crossed love and a journey to find her true power, in which Kore, the Goddess of Spring, becomes Persphone- the Destroyer, the Queen of the Underworld.
