Persephone lives in the most gorgeous place in the world. But her overprotective mother,
Demeter, makes this paradise more like a trap than an oasis. Just when Persephone has
almost given up hope of escaping the life that's been planned for her, a mysterious stranger arrives. A stranger who promises something that spurs Persephone to make a
daring choice. A choice that could destroy all she's come to love, even the earth itself. In
a land where a singing river can make you forget your very name, Persephone is forced
to discover who —and what —she really is. This re-telling of the Greek myth shows you a
different view of the romance between Persephone (daughter of Demeter and Zeus) and
Hades (the ruler of the underworld) and the impact that romance had on the earth and all
that live on it.
Mrs. R's opinion: "This was a great surprise. I didn't know much about the myth of Persephone, but this version puts a really neat spin on it. It's actually a little encouraging to see Hades portrayed in a new light. A great combination of romance and mythology with a little bit of action. Definitely worth picking up!"
