Synopsis
The Power of Hades opens the Hades Trials series. Persephone, an ordinary barista and botanical-garden enthusiast in modern-day Manhattan, is kidnapped by Zeus and thrown into the Underworld to compete for the position of Hades's Queen. Losing may mean death; winning means marrying the Lord of the Dead himself.
She's up against contestants who are actual gods — lethal, ancient, and far better equipped for the trials than she is — with only her wits to rely on. As the contest forces her into Hades's orbit, she becomes determined to find out what he's hiding behind his fearsome reputation, and finds the line between fearing him and wanting him harder to hold than expected.
A reverse-Persephone myth retelling by Eliza Raine and Rose Wilson, aimed at adult fantasy-romance readers who want slow-burn tension and a mythological backdrop.
