A Touch of Malice
Persephone and Hades are engaged, but their promised union throws the pantheon into open conflict. Furious at the match, Demeter unleashes a punishing, unnatural winter across New Greece and demands that her daughter break the betrothal—or watch mortals freeze. As the storm deepens, the old gods choose sides, and what began as a love story edges toward all-out divine war.
Caught between her mother's ultimatum and the God of the Dead she has chosen, Persephone must grow into her own power and decide what she is willing to risk. Alliances shift, enemies old and new gather, and the cost of the crown she is being offered rises with every chapter.
