The story of Hades and Persephone was as old as time, and stories like that get mangled and twisted as the years go by. Persephone was not Kidnapped by Hades nor did the earth swallow her into the Underworld, she loved Hades and wanted nothing more than to spend a lifetime with him. But as the years grew on that love was overcome by how miserable she was in her six months of the year she spent with Hades. She grew to resent him, how dare he make her fall in love with him knowing she was not fit for the life in the underworld? Unlike Persephone, Hades' love for her never faded it only grew with time. Which was why he made the decision to let her go. She retured to the mortal world with her mother, doing the things she was destined to do. And Hades? He was left alone his heart full of love for someone who no longer returned it. But when the years pass and Hades grows lonely choosing a new Queen suddenly doesn't seem so bad. A friend, a companion, a partner. But never a lover, that part of his heart is where only Persephone would reside. Until Cara comes along.

~ retelling of Hades and Persephone ~ EVERY TEN YEARS, THE GOD OF DEATH TAKES A BRIDE. In the Kingdom of Minoa, a sacrifice of a virgin girl is given to the God of Death to try and appease the never-ending winter. She's accompanied by a male sacrifice, intended to be her guardian so that she can reach the Underworld safely. THIS TIME, SHE'S NOT A SACRIFICE. SHE'S A RECKONING. When Nerissa, a bold and willful young woman, volunteers to be the bride, she forfeits her human life. Along with her less-than-capable guard, Mercer, they make their way to the palace of the Underworld to meet her husband: the King of the Underworld, and Death himself. BUT AN ANCIENT CURSE IS BINDING THE KINGDOM... Death's bitter foe has cursed him, so that he spends his days awaiting the return of his love, Persephone, who will bring back Spring. One night with Death, and Nerissa will be granted half his power...and the ability to find her brother's killer. ...SHE HAS ONE MONTH TO OUTSMART DEATH. Despite their increasing attraction to one another, her husband insists on keeping her in the dark. Nerissa must use all of her guts and guile to do the one thing he's not used to: people outsmarting him. DEATH IS ABOUT TO HAVE THE (most problematic) TIME OF HIS LIFE.
