Persephone is the new goddess on campus at Olympus University. She has big dreams of studying botany, making new friends, and getting out from under her mother Demeter's overprotective thumb. The semester is off to a good start, until she meets the dean of the Underworld Business School, Hades himself. Strange things happen to Persephone when Hades enters her life, and she finds she can't control her botanical magic when he is around. From her sheltered life at her home in The Vale, Persephone adjusts to college life by pledging a cut-throat harpy sorority, making mortal and godling friends, and trying to stay off the digital front pages of Hermes' gossip column. But as her powers continue to grow, Persephone knows the only way to survive at Olympus U is to keep Hades far, far away from her. As for Hades? He may have just met his match in Persephone and her mysterious powers. Relegated to the halls of the Underworld Business School, Hades grudgingly acts as dean at the order of his older brother and boss, Zeus. But Hades has a problem. There are forces lurking far below Olympus U-in Hades' underground kingdom-and a creature is about to awaken. The flames are licking at his back, and Hades needs to find the key to saving himself, the university, and a daughter of prophecy. There's just one problem. Both Hades and Persephone can't seem to stay away from each other. The closer they become, the less control the goddess of spring has over her powers. As the flowers and flames draw nearer, all of Olympus University may be at stake.

This is a rewrite of my previous fan fiction "Tales of Hades and Persephone" as well as some inspiration from the original myth (and perhaps other retellings I enjoy). Hades has been alone for far too long. One day he pays a visit to Zeus and requests to marry Persephone. The King of the Gods agrees and even recommends Hades kidnap Persephone, since it's unlikely Demeter will agree to the marriage. Persephone is a young Goddess of Earth curious about the world of the mortals. She's always helping her mother Demeter, but one day while watching the mortals she wanders off only to fun into a handsome stranger. After a brief conversation, Persephone finds herself swept away to the Underworld. Will Hades manage to get Persephone to fall in love with him? What will Demeter do when she discovers her daughter is missing and it's all Zeus' fault? Will the mortals be able to survive the wrath of the Gods?
