وصف الناشر
In this powerful, passionate reimagining of the Persephone myth for fans of Lore Olympus and Melissa Albert, two former best friends--split apart by betrayal--find themselves reunited in the Underworld. But will either one make it out, or will the darkness that's growing in each of them consume them whole?
For all of Corey’s life, it’s been Bree and Corey, Corey and Bree. Best friends, the girls are inseparable—until a devastating betrayal leaves Corey shattered and alone. Corey is sure nothing could hurt more, until Bree suddenly dies. Now Corey is heartbroken and furious. How can she mourn her one-time friend when she is still so angry at her?
Yet Corey and Bree’s tale is far from finished. When Corey accidentally catches a glimpse of Bree’s spirit passing into the afterlife, she finds herself face to face with a god pulled from the darkest myths of her girlhood: Hades, lord of the dead.
Turns out, the legends are real. But Hades is different from what Corey imagined—and so are the Furies, terrifying and beautiful creatures who encourage Corey to embrace her rage. The more Corey discovers about the Underworld, the more her own power stirs. But can she resist the lure of the darkness within?
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Though the tiny island of Daly is known as a place where Greek gods and humans cohabitate, 17-year-old Corey Allaway has never encountered one of the gods, nor has she experienced anything unusual. But when her former best friend, Bree Dovemuir, drowns during an annual festival, Corey—convinced that Bree's death wasn't accidental, especially after she had wished harm on Bree for stealing her boyfriend—searches for answers. She soon stumbles upon Hades and a gateway to the Underworld. Despite Hades's ominous warnings, Corey's curiosity leads her further into the Underworld where she meets the three Furies and a pantheon of gods. As she copes with Bree's death, Corey unearths unique powers of her own and struggles to manage her burgeoning feelings of internal darkness and figure out where she belongs. Salisbury (Hold Back the Tide) delivers lyrical if occasionally overwrought prose amid an inventive backdrop of Greek mythology and ritual. The author's rendering of Corey's turmoil as well as characters such as introspective Hades and enigmatic Oracle highlights a skillful command of emotional depth in this intense fantasy. Most characters read as white. Ages 14–up.
