Kingdom of the Wicked meets Neon Gods in this sizzling Hades and Persephone retelling, where banter cuts sharp and desire burns hotter than hell. He would tear stars from the heavens to reclaim her. She would burn the world to see his kind undone. In a modern world ruled by gods, Persephone has carved her place as a relentless demon hunter—unyielding, unbowed, and forged in fire and thorns. When Hades, the fanged and arrogant King of Shadows, abducts her, prophecy binds them as soulmates. Persephone refuses to accept it. Yet in the depths of the Underworld, her dormant powers begin to stir, and she realises she is more than a captive—she becomes a prize. Now the gods she once vowed to destroy want her hand—and maybe her heart. Yet it’s Hades—dark, damaged, and obsessed—who stirs something deeper. Her magic remembers what her heart denies. Hades, haunted by past betrayal and burning with obsessive need, watches the woman he lost begin to rise again And as rivalries ignite and passion collides with destiny, Persephone must decide if she will be pawn, prize… or queen. Queen of Shadows and Roses is the seductive first instalment in the Brothers of Olympus series—a trilogy of interconnected mythology retellings where gods rule from both thrones and skyscrapers, enemies-to-lovers sparks fly, and morally grey gods collide, all against a backdrop of sharp banter, smouldering tension, and heroines who refuse to kneel. This series is perfect for fans of Scarlett St. Clair, Jennifer L. Armentrout, Caroline Peckham & Susanne Valenti, and K.F. Breene.
