About this listen

A dark lesbian romance retelling of the Hades/Persephone abduction story, set in mythological ancient Greece.

In the land of the dead, Queen Hades’ word is law. Hades gets what she wants—always—and what she wants is a certain goddess of the springtime.

Innocent Persephone chafes beneath her mother’s hawkish gaze and mercurial temper. Demeter has rebuffed all her daughter’s suitors, but she is not yet satisfied. She strives to crush Persephone’s spirit.

Still, when Hades pulls her into the dark realm of the underworld, Persephone longs for the world above, even if it means an eternity under her mother’s thumb.

With her tears and pleas for freedom ignored by pitiless Hades, Persephone must learn to satisfy her keeper in all ways, lest she suffer the consequences.

And though she cannot deny that something blooms within her, something forbidden, Persephone despairs of ever feeling the sun upon her skin once more.

No matter the cost, Hades intends to keep her.

Forever.

This is an amazing book. I am a huge fan of Greek mythology and Hades especially, this was my first experience with Hades being female but it was the BEST Hades portral I have ever read

This is easily one of the top 5 books I have ever read in my life.

I absolutely did not want it to end. the best part is how great the author is at writing the story and making you hang on every word with total anticipation. though erotic not just throwing mindless smut at you every 2 pages.

top tier story! top tier writing!

would love if the Author revisited the world of Greek myth in the future.

I will be following and reading everything by her that I can.

I absolutely love the story and the twist of the characters. it was a very good story, beside the violence I rather had stayed out of it, but mythology as a whole had full of it. but overall it was an excellent book and the narrator was perfect for this story. I highly recommend listening to it.

Excellent twist.

Overall it was a fun piece I could not stop listening too. The spicy scenes were great, but left me wanting more.

I wanted more detailed resolution between Hades and Persephone; it was hard to swallow Persephone loving Hades so quickly after all the abuse she endured by her hand- but I guess as a survivor of parental abuse it could make sense to accept something.. familiar.

The content warning at the being was clear and correct. Hades is still trapped within the Patriarchal standards and acts as though she owns Persephone. I was hoping for a bit more rebellion from Hades in this.

My ideal would be a lesbian tale of the two in which Hades was a blessed escape from the strict heteronormative patriarchal reality of the over-world; one in which the classical telling was a lie created by that world to make Persephone a victim to valiantly save when in reality she is a freed woman choosing the unconventional and forbidden.

That all being said I did really enjoy the book and would recommend to others looking for this style. Thank you Lianyu Tan!

I was waiting a long time for the audiobook version of this novel. I loved reading that book, so I was excited to listen to this and it was a very immersive experience. Eva Cain had a voice that helped you want to listen more. it reminded me of why I enjoyed the first time round.
