She was kind as she was fierce and had knowledge beyond her years, but no one could ever tell her about the place that interested her the most; the underworld. So when Persephone and Hades's wedding was announced, she was excited to finally visit the underworld. Little did she know what the events would lead to. Hades, the gloomy god of the underworld who seeked no wife, was finally forced into a marriage he didn't want nor needed. Little did he know how much this wedding would change his whole life and the underworld. #1 in Hades 30/09/2021, 23/10/2021 #1 in Zeus 30/09/2021 #2 in forbidden 30/09/2021 #2 in Underworld 30/09/2021 #1 in Forbidden 11/10/2021 #1 in Greekmythology 11/10/2021 # 2 in Goddess 23/10/2021 # 1 in Greekgodsandgodesses 23/10/2021 # 1 in Underwold 23/10/2021 # 2 in Mythology

Thanatos : The Black Dawn by Devita33

*BOOK 6 *Warning- Do Not Read if you have not read The Red Dawn first. The tale of dawn takes a dark turn as events of the past are reconstructed and unwoven. What happens if Thanatos did end up being the king of the Greek world? What happens if Nyx had won? What happens if Hecate was alive? Aurora Venerelli is thrown into a darker, more dangerous world than ever before, but this time, Death is no longer her guardian... This is an alternative version of the Red Dawn. (Again, if you have not read the Red Dawn, this book will not make much sense. I highly recommend starting with book 1, The Red Dawn. This is book 7.)
