Lore Olympus: Volume Seven

Description

The Greek myth of Hades and Persephone is reimagined in a modern and romantic retelling in Lore Olympus: Volume Seven by Rachel Smythe. This gorgeously illustrated graphic novel, which has won the Eisner Award, takes readers on a journey through scandalous gossip, wild parties, and forbidden love. This volume is not just a continuation, but a deep dive into the pitfalls, trials, and tribulations faced by the gods and goddesses of Olympus, with a brand new, exclusive short story included.

Persephone's temporary refuge in the Underworld is shattered, and the rifts between realms grow ever wider. Apollo, in a bid to gain favour from Zeus, captures Demeter and hands her over to the King of the Gods, placing Persephone and her mother in a precarious position. They must stand trial for concealing Persephone’s unsanctioned act of wrath. Though Persephone feels secure with Hades by her side, the world of the gods is treacherous and safety is never guaranteed.

As the trial unfolds, long-hidden truths surface and betrayals are revealed, threatening to upend everything, including the relationship between Hades and Persephone. The ramifications extend far beyond their immediate circle, affecting other gods as well.

Eros uncovers Ampelus's secret during a clash in the Mortal Realm. Thanatos and Daphne’s budding relationship is under threat from a vengeful Apollo. Minthe remains trapped in her cursed form, her fate intertwined with Persephone’s mastery over her powers. Meanwhile, Hera is tormented by the spectre of Kronos, whose dark influence in Olympus continues to grow.
