#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER - Witness what the gods do after dark
in the third volume of a stylish and contemporary reimagining of one of
the best-known stories in Greek mythology, featuring a brand-new,
exclusive short story from creator Rachel Smythe.
"A refreshingly modern and surprisingly poignant take on the Hades and
Persephone myth . . . steamy, often laugh-out-loud funny, and
emotional."--Jennifer L. Armentrout, #1 New York Times bestselling
author of From Blood and Ash
ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR: Cosmopolitan, Gizmodo
"It is natural for a King to be curious about his future Queen. . . ."
All of Olympus--and the Underworld--are talking about the God of the
Dead and the sprightly daughter of Demeter. But despite the rumors of
their romance, Hades and Persephone have plenty to navigate on their
own.
Since coming to Olympus, Persephone has struggled to be the perfect
maiden goddess. Her attraction to Hades has only complicated the intense
burden of the gods' expectations. And after Apollo's assault, Persephone
fears she can no longer bury the intense feelings of hurt and love that
she's worked so hard to hide.
As Persephone contemplates her future, Hades struggles with his past,
falling back into toxic habits in Minthe's easy embrace. With all the
mounting pressure and expectations--of their family, friends, and
enemies--both Hades and Persephone tell themselves to deny their deepest
desires, but the pull between them is too tempting, too magnetic. It's
fate.
This edition of Smythe's original Eisner-winning webcomic Lore Olympus
brings Greek mythology into the modern age in a sharply perceptive and
romantic graphic novel.
