A Game of Retribution by Scarlett St. Clair offers a dark and enthralling reimagining of the classic Greek myth of Hades and Persephone. In this tale, Hades, the God of the Dead, strictly honours his principles, refusing to bend the rules for anyone, not even his beloved Persephone, Goddess of Spring. When Hera, Goddess of Women, seeks to topple Zeus and punishes Hades with impossible labours for his refusal to aid her, Hades must navigate trials that threaten to pull him away from Persephone. Meanwhile, Persephone herself grapples with her own tragic fate and the challenges of ruling the Underworld. The story weaves together fantasy, mythology and romance in the newly imagined New Greece.

From bestselling author Scarlett St. Clair comes a dark and enthralling reimagining of the Hades and Persephone Greek myth! How far will Hades go to defy Fate?

Become enchanted by the fantasy world of gods and mortals in bestselling author Scarlett St. Clair's reimagined New Greece. Readers are "hopelessly addicted" to the story of Hades and Persephone told from Hades's point of view.

Hades, God of the Dead, does not take sides or bend the rules. He makes no exceptions to these valuesβ€”not for god or mortal, even his lover, Persephone, Goddess of Spring.

Usually, fear prevents retaliation.

But not this time.

When Hera, Goddess of Women, approaches Hades with a plan to overthrow Zeus, he declines to offer help. As punishment, Hera sentences Hades to perform a series of labours. Each feat seems more impossible than the last and draws his attention away from Persephoneβ€”whose own tragedy has left her questioning whether she can be Queen of the Underworld.

Can Hades maintain the balance he craves?
