I’m on the hunt for beta readers for my upcoming Persephone & Hades retelling—a book that’s like Percy Jackson but grown up, with more politics, Gods at war, and a heroine who refuses to be controlled.
It is sitting at 114,370 words. It has been edited multiple times, and is nearly ready for publishing as far as I'm concerned, but that's why I need you guys!
This is an adult fantasy, but completely clean (NO spice). The focus is on the story, the world, and the characters—not romance taking over the plot. Don't get me wrong, there IS romance, it's just not the main point of the story.
Blurb:
"Kora is a thief, surviving on the fringes of a world that would rather pretend she doesn’t exist. When a mysterious figure offers her a fortune to steal an ancient artifact, she doesn’t ask questions. But the job goes terribly wrong, and she’s captured by the Priests of Fate—branded for a crime she doesn’t remember committing.
Instead of execution, she is shackled to Aidoneus, the God of Death himself, who drags her into the Underworld and names her his bride. In a realm of forgotten Gods and vengeful spirits, Kora must untangle the truth of why she was brought here—and why the shadows seem to know her name. Secrets stir in the dark, and with every step, she edges closer to a past she wasn’t supposed to remember.
The Gods have made a mistake.
And Kora is about to make them pay."
What to expect:
A fresh take on the Persephone & Hades myth
Enemies-to-lovers vibes (but the romance doesn’t overshadow the plot)
Divine politics & rebellion
Female rage
A dive into how emotions can control you if you don't control them.
I need honest feedback—what works, what doesn’t, if something is worded weird. If you're interested please comment!
