A daughter pulled between two worlds and a mother willing to destroy both to protect her . . .
Demeter: a goddess of life, living half of one.
Demeter did not always live in fear. Once, she loved the world and the humans who inhabited it. After an act of devastating violence, though, she hides herself away among the grasses and wildflowers. Her only solace is her daughter . . .
Before she was Persephone, she was Core.
Core is as bright as summer and devoted to her mother, even during their millennia in exile from Olympus. But she craves freedom. Naïve and determined, she secretly builds a life of her own—and as she does so, she catches the eye of a powerful god . . .
The daughters of Olympus will have the last word . . .
Then Hades kidnaps Core and renames her as Queen of the Underworld. In the land without sun, she realizes she may have a chance to gain back what she thought she'd lost forever. But Demeter will destroy anything—even the humans she holds so dear—to bring her daughter back. A mother who has lost everything and a daughter with more to gain than she ever realized, they will irrevocably shape the world: all in the name of something as human as love.

SPOILER:
Just keep in mind that this is still a classic story of Persephone and Hades and she is still violently abducted by him. Though there is no “sexual violence” in that part of the story . It’s called the Rape of Persephone because of in the origin of the word rape came from the Latin word raptus, seized or carried off. Probably why Raptors Birds or Birds of Prey came from. In other hand, there are two instances of rape in the story, both happened to Demeter. It’s quite sad, but I’m glad the author didn’t dwell in neither sequences events. But I guess it was important to the story as it was part of the original story of Demeter.
A great retelling of the story of Demeter and Persephone.

From Core to Persephone, Queen of the Underworld, her transformative and empowering journey is awesome. Demeter, just like that of her flower-power nature, blossomed. Demeter found her strength through the love she had for her daughter. Her grief is iciness/ bitter cold. We see how Zeus, Poseidon and Hades tormented Demeter. Characters like Ione (Core’s lover in the mortal world and in death), Orpheus (to save his lover Eurydice), and Ascalaphus (servant of Hades) tied into the story extremely well, creating twists and turns in the story and tying the plot together like a present. Hannah Lynnn is superb! You’ll love Charon and Cerberus. You’ll feel refreshed with Hermes entering into the story. What an excellent depiction of Persephone and Hades’ love. King and Queen.
Never really a dull moment in this one, the end came too quick & that’s with me taking my sweet time with this book!
Excellent
