The Fated One

"You're nothing but a placeholder, a substitute to keep the Underworld running until the Fated One arrives... and when he does, Hades, you will be nothing."

The end of the Titanomache was meant to be a symbol of freedom for the Olympians, a promise of peace after centuries of discord. But Hades finds himself forced into the role as ruler of the Underworld-- a stand-in for the one prophesized by the Fates. After countless millennia of waiting for the Fated One to arrive, Hades is forced to take a wife until he can step down and rejoin his family on Olympus. But who would dare agree to marry a placeholder, the only god to have no purpose other than to wait?

Persephone, daughter of Demeter, is tired of her role as the virgin Goddess of Spring. With her busy mother constantly down her throat, Persephone has no choice but to listen to everything she says... until a rare opportunity arises. Amongst the nymphs and naiads, the Olympians, and even the mortals, rumors swirl that the elusive ruler of the Underworld is searching for a companion--and who better to marry than the ruler of one of the most powerful realms in existence?
