King of flowers and death

That is why the lonely god of the Underworld, Hades, is surprised to see a boy picking flowers in the meadow while the moon is up in the sky. A human that is so beautiful to make the god of death leave his reign to have a closer look at him. A choice that will change everything for both of them.

Tidal Wave (Luke Castellan)
When I was young, I was always told that everyone loved a tragic Greek love story. Orpheus and Eurydice. Apollo and Hyacinth. Hero and Leander. Achilles and Patroclus. I had asked my mother why so many of those stories didn't have happy endings. She just gave me a grim smile and told me how the world of the gods was tricky. There was a lot about it that I didn't understand yet. That was 13 years ago. I think I understand it now.
