Halves by StarkAsphodels

Isolation can be devastating. But love...can destroy everything around you. For Persephone, isolation is being kept under the suffocating gaze of her mother, treated like a child and forbidden from interaction with her own kind or the mortal people under her care. For Hades, isolation is a deadly gift, a silent and lifeless kingdom that he alone rules -- and that cuts him off from all that he would consider family. But when the winds of chance throw two love-starved souls together, it heralds the end of the universe as they know it.... #1 in HadesxPersephone (09/18/22) #2 in Persephone (09/27/22)

Shadows of the Soul by wolvee

Book Description: In a realm where gods reign and mortals toil, Psyra, the radiant goddess of souls, walks a delicate path between the divine and the mortal. Born from light but weighed down by eternal loneliness, she is drawn into the intricate web of power, desire, and destiny that binds Olympus. As Psyra is courted by gods who seek her for their own ambitions-Zeus, consumed by obsession; Hades, a shadowed figure of mystery; and Apollo, a charming light that burns too bright-she must navigate a world of love, manipulation, and betrayal. While her bond to the mortal realm keeps her grounded, it is an invisible cord of fate pulling her toward both her destruction and salvation. But when Zeus devises a dangerous scheme to claim her, Psyra is forced to confront her deepest fears and the truth of her own strength. Caught between the storm of Zeus' desire and the quiet flame of Hades' affection, Psyra's journey will test her power, challenge her loyalty, and ultimately determine the fate of gods and mortals alike. In a world of golden light and shadowed secrets, can Psyra find freedom-and love-without losing herself? A story of passion, power, and destiny, Psyra's Journey is a mythological fantasy where the line between love and obsession blurs, and even gods are not immune to the pull of fate.

Hope for the Underworld by MDVidgen

'In a single terrifying moment the heavens roared with a deafening crack of thunder, and the wind howled in a bone-chilling frenzy, as if someone was screaming in agony and unbearable anguish. In response, the earth recoiled in shock; the ground shook violently, jolting her off her feet. As the tremors intensified, a great chasm ripped open, devouring everything in its path and swallowing her in an instant. In a heartbeat, she plummeted into the shadowy abyss, consumed completely by the darkness. Then, the great void closed again, cutting off the sound of her terrified voice, leaving no trace of her presence there...' A retelling of the timeless love story of Hades and Persephone. Though some may argue it wasn't a love story at all... I disagree... Cover by AI Updated twice a week.

In a modern world where ancient gods walk among mortals, the balance of power is disrupted when Zeus, the king of the olymyan gods, commits a heinous act: the rape and murder of Persephone, the beloved wife of Hades and queen of the underworld. Consumed by grief and rage, Hades, ruler of the underworld, embarks on a quest for vengeance against his brother Zeus. Leaving the confines of the underworld, Hades seeks allies among the gods, rallying them to his cause in a bid to overthrow Zeus and restore justice. As Hades traverses the mortal realm, he encounters allies and adversaries alike. Athena, goddess of wisdom, joins his cause, appalled by Zeus's actions and eager to see justice served. However, not all gods are swayed by Hades's call to arms. Some remain loyal to Zeus, while others harbor their own agendas, complicating Hades's mission. Amidst the turmoil, mortals become unwitting pawns in the gods' power struggle. As alliances shift and betrayals unfold, Hades must navigate treacherous waters to confront Zeus and avenge the death of Persephone. But in a world where gods play by their own rules, the outcome of Hades's quest remains uncertain, and the fate of both mortals and immortals hangs in the balance.
