These books are so entertaining and well written. The story is based not only on the relationship between Hades and Persephone but of her journey. Alot of the gods make an appearance in this one and it is ✨👌 One of my favorite retellings.
A wonderful follow up to The Ballad of Wrath and Death. This book pulls you into a dark, emotional world where grief, love, and destiny collide. It follows Kora as she searches for answers after a heartbreaking loss—only to uncover something far bigger than she ever expected. The dual perspectives add so much depth, especially with the mythological elements woven in. It’s haunting, beautifully written, and full of raw emotion.
