"A modern retelling of Hades and Persephone that's as sinful as it is sweet"--Back cover.

Neon Gods by Katee Robert, a New York Times and USA Today bestselling author, blazes onto the scene with a sizzling modern retelling of the myth of Hades and Persephone. This seductive tale is woven with intrigue, passion, and power, set against the backdrop of a city where gods walk amongst mortals and shadows hold secrets untold.

Persephone Dimitriou, the cherished darling of high society, craves an escape from the stifling confines of Olympus, a dazzling metropolis dominated by the ruthless politics of the Thirteen Houses. Her world is upended when her mother, in a calculated move, forces a betrothal to Zeus, the formidable and enigmatic ruler who lurks behind the city's lavish facade.

Desperate to avoid this grim fate, Persephone flees to the undercity—a forbidden realm long shrouded in mystery and darkness. There, she encounters Hades, a man of legend and myth, who presents her with an offer that could change her destiny. In making a pact with Hades, Persephone enters a treacherous world filled with temptation and danger, beginning an adventure that awakens her deepest desires and uncharted emotions.

Hades has always embraced the shadows, steering clear of the city's luminous elite. Upon discovering that Persephone's plight aligns with his quest for revenge, he seizes the opportunity to aid her—for a price. As nights filled with fiery passion and tenderness unfold, Hades finds himself captivated by Persephone, willing to challenge the very foundations of Olympus to keep her by his side.

Praise for Neon Gods is effusive, with Publishers Weekly awarding it a starred review, calling it "Deliciously inventive...Red-hot." Mimi Koehler from The Nerd Daily enthuses, "I get shivers just thinking of their interactions. SHIVERS."
