Kora Hadley is a high school student who is used to spending her days gardening, playing video games, and hanging out with her best friend Jasper. She would rather peruse the farmer's market than go shopping at the mall, and she wouldn't be caught dead in Starbucks. The only thing that makes her stand out in a crowd is that she is the only seventeen year old she knows who isn't planning on going to college as soon as she graduates.

So why is she being stalked?

Kora feels eyes on her at almost every turn, and catches sight of a figure in the distance tailing her and her best friend in public. Jasper is the only one who believes her, and her mother's sketchy behavior isn't making her feel any better about things. As the Kansas winter grows unseasonably warm, and Jasper starts avoiding her as well, Kora starts to believe she might just be losing her mind....

Until her 18th birthday, when the ground opens up and swallows her whole.

"Winter Descent" is a new adult-fantasy that is inspired by the Greek mythology of Hades and Persephone.

[COMPLETED - ONLY MINORLY EDITED] ******************************************************** Greek myths - true or false? They should be false, and to 16-year-old Sophie Claire, it's never crossed her mind that they aren't. Until one day in History class when her teacher spends a day on Greek mythology and something strange starts happening - her friends and classmates begin to tell myths about certain Greek deities with frightening precision. And for some reason, she's began to feel a certain affinity for Persephone, the Greek maiden who was kidnapped by Hades, the Lord of the Underworld, and forced into a marriage with him. This isn't some coincidence or freak dream, she later finds out from a host of strange individuals who claim they're from Olympus, the grandoise home of the gods themselves. She is actually a modern reincarnation of the goddess Persephone, and she's not the only one. A few of her classmates also happen to represent the gods and goddesses from popular Greek myths, and the fact that all of them are present means that something monumental is about to happen. Something like being the girl to change Persephone's future, to break the cycle of kidnapper and victim - all by passing a trial. It won't be simple, she knows, and she's not quite that eager to take it up, but from the moment she found out that she was Persephone, there was no way to back out. She should've known, however, that dealing with all powerful, immortal deities wasn't going to be easy. They've got a few secrets and personality flaws up their sleeves, and they could be deadly. More than deadly - murderous.

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)
