For all of Andréa's life, it had just been her and her mother, Jean Rosenthal. Growing up in Dublin, Ireland, the sounds of the city are second nature. The American tourists flock to Dublin for a disgusting pint of Guinness and to explore their roots are an easy pickpocket for someone like her.

But when Jean goes missing without a trace, it's up to Anya, her loyal companion T'Pow the doberman, and a few of her friends, they go on a mission to rescue Andréa's mother and save the world from the rising of Morgana.

*****
Persephone has been raised in Olympus all her life - her mother absent, her father a cruel king, with her siblings teaching her all they know. She has seen all of what the gods and goddesses do and she is sick of it. When she learns her safety is threatened by staying in Olympus, she flees to the Underworld. There she stays until she learns that her leaving has caused the world to wilt. But leaving behind her newfound friends and Lady of the Underworld is something she will not do willingly, no matter the consequences.
