From the renowned author Scarlett St. Clair, this novel presents a compelling and dark retelling of the legendary Greek myth of Hades and Persephone. "Allow me to worship you," he offered. She recalled the words she murmured to him in the limousine after their visit to La Rose. "You will indeed worship me, and I won't have to command it," was his sinful and enticing proposition, to which she eagerly responded, "Yes."

Persephone bears the title of the Goddess of Spring, though her touch has always withered flowers since her youth. In New Athens, she dreams of living quietly, masquerading as a human journalist. However, her plans unravel the moment she enters a forbidden nightclub and encounters a mysterious stranger over a game of cards. This stranger, Hades, the God of the Dead, has established a thriving gambling empire on earth. His challenges are rumored to be unwinnable. Yet, nothing piques his interest more than the goddess who presents him with an irresistible deal. As a result of their interaction, Persephone becomes bound by an agreement with Hades, requiring her to bring life to the Underworld or sacrifice her freedom forever. In her quest to fulfill this daunting challenge, Persephone not only confronts her shortcomings as a goddess but also discovers a profound, albeit forbidden, affection for Hades.
