Persephone, goddess of spring and beauty beyond compare, finds herself torn from bloom and light into the cold embrace of the Underworld. Taken by Hades - the silent, mysterious god feared by all - she expects cruelty, but what she finds is far more dangerous: a soul as broken and buried as her own fear.
Hades, Never asked for a heart to match his own. Yet from the moment he saw her, something shifted. He hides it - with distance, silence, and control. But desire has a way of breaking even the most ancient gods.
As Olympus stirs with tension and secrets rise like smoke, Persephone begins to question everything - especially the god who keeps her caged but never harms her, who looks at her like she's the only light he remembers.
In a realm where gods play with power and affection is currency, can love truly bloom in the dark?
