Synopsis

In Brothers of Olympus, women aren’t victims… they bring gods to their knees.
And the first god to fall… is Hades.

Perfect for readers of Scarlett St. Clair, Carissa Broadbent, and Jennifer L. Armentrout; where gods rule from thrones and skyscrapers. Featuring morally grey gods, explosive chemistry, and a heroine who bites back.

Fanged gods
Enemies to lovers
Forced proximity
He falls first
"Touch her and Cerberus will eat you."

Together, they are the balance between light and shadow--love and fury. The King of Death and his Queen of Rebirth.

He would move mountains and stars to reclaim her.
She would burn the world to destroy the gods.

In a modern world ruled by gods, Persephone—a fierce demon hunter—refuses to kneel. When Hades, the dark and arrogant King of Shadows, abducts her, she rejects the prophecy binding them as soulmates. She’s no fragile blossom—she was forged in fire and thorns.

As her power awakens in the Underworld, Zeus opens her courtship to all gods, turning her into a coveted prize. Once sworn enemies now compete for her hand, cloaking treachery in seduction and divine charm.

Drawn to her enigmatic, fanged captor—even as she defies him—Persephone fights the pull of a love born in darkness. Her magic remembers what her heart denies. And as Hades watches the woman he lost begin to rise again, his devotion threatens to become his ruin.

But sometimes, the deepest shadows hide the fiercest love.

Author’s Note:
A New Adult fantasy romance inspired by Hades & Persephone. Expect slow-burning heat, enemies-to-lovers bite, mature themes, and steam that intensifies throughout the book. Trigger warnings available in the table of contents.

About this title

About the Author

I've been a voracious reader since I was a young girl visiting the library, fostering my imagination and stepping into fantastical worlds. I'm still an avid bibliophile who loves the delightful escape of unrealistic romances, and faraway places; books are filled with endless possibilities. My books are brimming with magic, plenty of banter, morally grey characters, witty, kickass FMCs, and oodles of passion!

I live in rural West Yorkshire, England, with two absolutely gorgeous pups and two perpetually cynical cats who definitely own me. I also have a chicken... oh, and a husband. When I'm not writing, you can find me reading anything fantasy, usually with a generous slice of romance, chilling with friends, or walking the countryside with my dogs.
