About this book

When Persephone awakens dormant goddess powers within herself, she transforms from a desperate underdog into a force to be reckoned with—but there's a catch, because she has absolutely no idea how to use them. Trapped in a deadly competition through the Olympian underworld with no memory of her past and mysterious forces determined to see her fail, she's determined to survive the next round of trials and find her way home to New York. The real complication? Her undeniable connection to Hades, the enigmatic king of the underworld, is drawing dangerous attention from other gods who want her gone—and the closer she gets to him, the less certain she becomes about leaving. With each trial becoming more lethal and her feelings more complicated, Persephone has to figure out whether she's fighting to escape Olympus or if maybe, just maybe, she's finally found where she belongs.

Dark, sensual slow burns with forbidden allure. Mix moody alternative (Phoebe Bridgers, The National), sultry R&B (SZA, Frank Ocean), and gothic orchestral moments. Building tension, magnetic chemistry, smoldering intensity.
