(A modern retelling of Persephone and Hades, which strays far from the original mythology, and with Hermes somehow thrown into the mix.) Ariella dreamt of Hell's blazing fire, of the warm, bright lights behind her shut-eye. Born to two very average mortals, and living amongst the human realm, she was one hundred percent certain she wasn't one of them. No, her powers--whether for good or bad--were far beyond the capabilities of earthlings. You see, Ariella, now twenty-one, had been attracting gods down to earth since her late teens. They'd been drawn to her beauty and charm, infatuated by immediate lust and an intense attraction, despite Ariella's pleas. However, when her dreams start up again worse than before, and Hermes shows up at her doorstep, Ariella must come to terms with her strength, even if it means traveling to the Underworld for answers.

Death is what comes to people like a thief in the night, snatching them with no intentions of bringing them back. Death is a nagging parent that you try to outsmart time and time again but no matter how many times you may think you have outsmarted them, in the end they will have the last word. Death is the old friend that nobody likes and yet you cannot live without. Death is many things but I never thought it would be my lover. Kore lives alone with her controlling mother, Demi. She hasn't seen any other person besides her homeschool teacher since she was a little girl after a mysterious incident happened at school one day that her mother refuses to talk to her about. She keeps her locked away on a farm and only lets her go out occasionally. It isn't until her cat dies and after picking him up, becomes alive again when she realizes why her mother has locked her away for all these years. She discovers she has the gift of healing. When she confronts her mother about it, her mother reveals to her that they are not human but in fact, Goddesses trapped inside human vessels to protect Kore from the Gods who want to marry her. But things only get worse when one day, as Kore is picking flowers in the meadow, there is an earthquake and she is taken up by this earthquake and falls into the arms of none other than Hades. A modern re-imagining of the story of Persephone.
