A public romance, a private reckoning

As the second book in Scarlett St. Clair’s Hades and Persephone series, *A Touch of Ruin* shifts their relationship into public view. The resulting media attention threatens Persephone’s ordinary life and could reveal her identity as the Goddess of Spring, while warnings about Hades’s past complicate their bond. A tragedy deepens the conflict: Persephone acts on her own through a series of bargains, with severe consequences, as Hades refuses to help. The story brings romance and mythological fantasy together with questions of trust, loss, and what it would mean for Persephone to become Hades’s queen.

Book overview

The second in the captivating Hades and Persephone series from fan-favorite bestselling author Scarlett St. Clair.

"Are you saying you wouldn't fight for me?"

Hades sighed and brushed his finger along her cheek. "Darling, I would burn this world for you."

Persephone's relationship with Hades has gone public and the resulting media storm disrupts her normal life and threatens to expose her as the Goddess of Spring. To add to her troubles, everyone seems eager to warn Persephone away from the God of the Dead by exposing his hellish past.

Things only get worse when a horrible tragedy leaves Persephone's heart in ruin and Hades refusing to help. Desperate, she takes matters into her own hands, striking bargains that lead to severe consequences. Faced with a side of Hades she never knew, and crushing loss, Persephone wonders if she can truly become Hades's queen.
