Lore Olympus: Volume One
Scandalous gossip, wild parties, and forbidden love - witness what the gods do after dark in this stylish and contemporary reimagining of one of mythology's best-known stories from creator Rachel Smythe.
Lore Olympus: Volume One is described as 'steamy, often laugh-out-loud funny and emotional' by Jennifer L. Armentrout, #1 New York Times bestselling author of From Blood and Ash.
Persephone, young goddess of spring, is new to Olympus. Her mother, Demeter, has raised her in the mortal realm, but after Persephone promises to train as a sacred virgin, she's allowed to live in the fast-moving, glamorous world of the gods.
When her roommate, Artemis, takes her to a party, her entire life changes — she ends up meeting Hades and feels an immediate spark with the charming yet misunderstood ruler of the Underworld.
Now Persephone must navigate the confusing politics and relationships that rule Olympus, while also figuring out her own place - and her own power.
This edition of Smythe's original Eisner-nominated webcomic, Lore Olympus, features a brand-new, exclusive short story and brings the Greek pantheon into the modern age in a sharply perceptive and romantic graphic novel.
This volume collects episodes 1-25 of the #1 WEBTOON comic Lore Olympus.
