"I can't do this," I stressed, grabbing my older brother's arm.
"Yes, you can," Sander whispered back. "I know you can."

Cetare shoved me forward, toward the testing building. I'd get him later for that. That is, if I had a later.
I took a deep breath, shoving my left hand into my dress pocket. I couldn't fail. I couldn't do that to Annalee or Sander.
"Here," I called out, and all eyes turned to me.
"Miss Velanite," the Luminary said with a cold smile. "Please proceed to the testing room. And may your As look like As and your Zs look like Zs."

A retelling of the Hades and Persephone myth, a story of fate, the struggle for power, and love found in the most unexpected places. ***** 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.
