A mythic romance shaped by choice and power

Colette Rhodes reimagines the Hades and Persephone myth through Kore, whose mother’s efforts to protect her include an oath of virginity and keeping her power concealed. The story brings her into the underworld and into closer understanding of Hades, while placing her future between two identities: the Maiden and the Bringer of Destruction. Its central tension links personal choice with consequences described as reaching beyond Kore herself, to humanity. The book is presented as a standalone retelling, with a romance framework and an ancient-world mythological setting.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Readers interested in Hades and Persephone retellings.
  • Those seeking historical romance drawing on ancient mythology.
  • Adult readers looking for a standalone myth-inspired romance.

Book overview

A HADES AND PERSEPHONE RETELLING

 

For Kore's entire life, her mother only ever wanted two things from her:

 

  1. Swear an oath of virginity (to protect her from marriage)
  2. Never show the world how much power she really possessed (to protect her from marriage)

 

Despite Demeter's attempts to keep Kore as far away from Olympus and its capricious gods who might want her for their own, there was nothing in this world or any other that could have kept Kore hidden from Hades.

 

As for Kore, the more time she spends in the underworld, the more she realizes how alone and misunderstood its ruler truly is.

 

With her heart and all of humanity on the line, will Kore embrace her former life as The Maiden, or a future as the Bringer of Destruction?

 

Dead of Spring is a standalone Hades and Persephone retelling suitable for readers aged 18+
