“Even if you never accept it, you are mine. My queen of light.” A dark, steamy Hades & Persephone retelling for readers who crave enemies-to-lovers heat, ruthless gods, and chemistry that burns worlds down. A god undone. A goddess unbound. Persephone is a fierce demon hunter in the mortal world—until Hades, the dark and dangerously obsessed King of the Underworld, abducts her and claims they are bound by prophecy. She denies it. Her magic doesn’t. In the depths of the Underworld, her lost goddess powers awaken… and she becomes more than a captive. She becomes a prize . The gods she once vowed to destroy want her hand—and perhaps her heart. But it’s Hades, fanged, furious, and hopelessly devoted, who ignites something far deeper. Her magic remembers what her heart denies. And Hades, haunted and hungry, watches the woman he lost begin to rise again. As old rivalries spark and passion turns explosive, Persephone must decide: Will she be their pawn? Their prize? Or the queen who brings a god to his knees? Perfect for fans of Neon Gods , Kingdom of the Wicked , Scarlett St. Clair, Jennifer L. Armentrout, and deliciously steamy romantasy. Queen of Shadows and Roses launches the Brothers of Olympus trilogy—dark, seductive mythology retellings where gods rule from thrones and skyscrapers, enemies-to-lovers tension burns slow and dangerous, and no heroine kneels. Author’s Note: A New Adult fantasy romance inspired by Hades & Persephone. Expect slow-burn heat, enemies-to-lovers bite, mature themes, and steam that intensifies throughout the book. Trigger warnings available in the table of contents. I've been a voracious reader since I was a young girl visiting the library, fostering my imagination and stepping into fantastical worlds. I'm still an avid bibliophile who loves the delightful escape of unrealistic romances and faraway places; books are filled with endless possibilities. My books are brimming with magic, plenty of banter, morally grey characters, witty, kickass FMCs, and oodles of passion! I live in rural West Yorkshire, England, with two absolutely gorgeous pups and two perpetually cynical cats who definitely own me. I also have a chicken... oh, and a husband. When I'm not writing, you can find me reading anything fantasy, usually with a generous slice of romance, chilling with friends, or walking the countryside with my dogs.
