Era has her own version of events - and she'd like to tell it herself.The granddaughter of Father Time and daughter of the Queen of the Earth, Era has spent her whole life carefully watched, carefully kept, and carefully protected from a danger no one will name. She has learned to push past that careful boundary one daring act at a time.So when she encounters the brooding, solitary lord of the Underworld at the edge of her family's woodland - it is Era who draws closer. Era who dares herself. Era who kisses him first.What follows is a secret courtship woven in cello and violin duets in the summer woods, through clockwork arches that shimmer with past and future, through the slow unraveling of a man who has everything and feels nothing - until her. Hades is powerful, lonely, and quietly undone by a woman who has no fear of the dark.But Era's family forbids the match, with reasons that reach back further than Era knows. And when she is forced to send Hades away, his grief takes the night with him - and leaves the world in endless, blinding light.To bring him back, Era must find her way through laughter, music, and dance, to the one truth she has always known: some stories are too important to let someone else tell.A lyrical fairy tale retelling of the myth of Persephone and Hades - warm, witty, and beautifully told - for readers who believe a woman should always get to speak for herself.…

They say Hades swept her away to his kingdom of darkness. They're wrong. Era has her own version of events - and she'd like to tell it herself.
The granddaughter of Father Time and daughter of the Queen of the Earth, Era has spent her whole life carefully watched, carefully kept, and carefully protected from a danger no one will name. She has learned to push past that careful boundary one daring act at a time.
So when she encounters the brooding, solitary lord of the Underworld at the edge of her family's woodland - it is Era who draws closer. Era who dares herself. Era who kisses him first.
What follows is a secret courtship woven in cello and violin duets in the summer woods, through clockwork arches that shimmer with past and future, through the slow unraveling of a man who has everything and feels nothing - until her. Hades is powerful, lonely, and quietly undone by a woman who has no fear of the dark.
But Era's family forbids the match, with reasons that reach back further than Era knows. And when she is forced to send Hades away, his grief takes the night with him - and leaves the world in endless, blinding light.
To bring him back, Era must find her way through laughter, music, and dance, to the one truth she has always known: some stories are too important to let someone else tell.
A lyrical fairy tale retelling of the myth of Persephone and Hades - warm, witty, and beautifully told - for readers who believe a woman should always get to speak for herself.

About the Author
Thank you so much for reading Apocrypha of Era. This book was, in the very beginning, a five or six page unpublished short story. When I decided to write a book I struggled with how to structure something much longer than I had written before. I took the original short story and expanded it to gain confidence and experience in writing a longer story. This is a first book. It was fun to write, and I hope you enjoyed reading it.
I would love to hear from you! Visit daphnerackham.com

Information regarding the right of withdrawal
Statutory right to withdraw
You have the right to withdraw from this contract within 14 days without giving any reason.
The withdrawal period will expire after 14 days from the day on which you acquire, or a third party other than the carrier and indicated by you acquires, physical possession of the last good or the last lot or piece.
To exercise the right of withdrawal, electronically fill in and submit a clear statement on our website, under "My Purchases" in "My Account". We will communicate to you an acknowledgement of receipt of such a withdrawal on a durable medium (e.g. by e-mail) without delay.
To meet the withdrawal deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning your exercise of the right of withdrawal before the withdrawal period has expired.
Effects of withdrawal
If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).
We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.
We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract.
We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement.
