"Do not beg me, goddess," Hades groaned.

"Then I command it," she whispered.

Fans of Rachel Smythe's Lore Olympus webtoons graphic novel and Madeline Miller's Circe and Songs of Achilles, mythology, fantasy, historical fiction, and romance will enjoy this classic retelling in this four-part series.

Before Persephone was known as The Dread Queen, she was but a young goddess who went by the name of Kore, pulling flowers from soil to create life. Nothing more is spoken on the all feared Queen and her rise to power.

Not of her journey.

Not of her time in the realm of the dead where she showed the King of Darkness what it means to be loved.

He claims the Underworld is no place for Love.

She is determined to prove him wrong.
