Publisher Description
Discover the enthralling fantasy world of gods and mortals in bestselling author Scarlett St. Clair's reimagined New Greece. Readers are "hopelessly addicted" to this captivating story of Hades and Persephone.
"Take her, and I will destroy this world. Take her, and I will destroy you. Take her, and I will end us all."
Hades, God of the Underworld, is known for his inflexible rule, luxurious night clubs, and impossible bargains. Used to control, he is not prepared to discover the Fates have chosen his future wife and Queen—Persephone, Goddess of Spring.
Despite her attraction to the god, Persephone, an ambitious journalism student, is determined to expose Hades for his cruel and ruthless ways. She defies him at every turn, even as the attraction between them explodes.
Hades finds himself faced with the impossible—proving his future bride wrong. Regardless of his efforts, there are forces who wish to keep the two apart and Hades comes to realize he will do anything for his forbidden love, even defy Fate.
Customer Reviews
Must. Read.
Getting to see Hades’ side of things really completes the story, if you don’t read this book you are missing out on a lot.
Liked ATOD, love AGOF
Preferred this to ATOD. When reading from Hades’s perspective, there’s less of what we know (school, work, nerves of an emerging adult, overbearing moms) and more of what we don’t (Underworld/Olympia, more interactions between immortals, myth immersion).
Though we are following the same storyline as with ATOD, it’s still very steamy and romantic, and the evolution of Hades’s sense empathy is definitely something to be appreciated in this POV.
Great POV
The author included a great amount of information and detail of things that were going on not just in Hades head but also what he did with his time. It filled in all the blanks and made me fall in love with Hades even more as “Sephy’s” partner.
