Crown of Seed & Shadow Book 2: The Garden Beneath the World

A sensual slow-burn Hades and Persephone retelling.

He has loved her from the beginning. She is only beginning to understand what that love has cost them both.

Hades never pretended that taking Persephone was right. He knew it wasn't. And now, though she has chosen to stay, he cannot outrun what he did—or what it demands of him now.

Deep within the Underworld, something ancient is growing: a garden born of imbalance, older than the gods themselves. It should not exist.

And yet it thrives, threatening the fragile order between life and death, drawing the attention of forces far more dangerous than a jealous king.

With the Shade Kings circling for power and Olympus itself beginning to fracture, Hades must decide what he's willing to sacrifice to restore balance: his throne, his crown, or the only love he's ever chosen freely.

Because some debts can't be settled with power. Some can only be paid with surrender.

To save the Underworld will he have to give up the woman who holds his heart?

Can be read as a standalone or as Book two of the Crown of Seed and Shadow Duology.
