Description
From #1 New York Times bestselling author Scarlett St. Clair comes an exclusive collector's edition of her dark and enthralling reimagining of the Hades and Persephone Greek myth. This edition includes all-new illustrated hardcover designs, full-color endpapers, full-color interior art, author footnotes, foiled edges, and more.
"Take her, and I will destroy this world. Take her, and I will destroy you. Take her, and I will end us all."
Hades, God of the Underworld, is known for his inflexible rule, luxurious night clubs, and impossible bargains. Used to control, he is not prepared to discover the Fates have chosen his future wife and Queen—Persephone, Goddess of Spring.
Despite her attraction to the god, Persephone, an ambitious journalism student, is determined to expose Hades for his cruel and ruthless ways. She defies him at every turn, even as the attraction between them explodes.
Hades finds himself faced with the impossible—proving his future bride wrong. Regardless of his efforts, there are forces who wish to keep the two apart and Hades comes to realise he will do anything for his forbidden love, even defy Fate.
