Perséfone es la diosa de la primavera, aunque solo de nombre porque la realidad es que, desde que puede recordar, las flores se marchitan bajo su toque. Ante la incapacidad de usar sus poderes de diosa, decide mudarse a Nueva Atenas disfrazada como una periodista mortal con la intención de llevar una vida sin complicaciones.
Hades, dios de los muertos, posee un gran imperio del juego en el mundo de los mortales. Entre picas y corazones, los rumores se hacen oír y afirman que sus apuestas favoritas son aquellas imposibles de ganar.
Un fortuito encuentro entre Perséfone y Hades atrapa a la diosa en un contrato de términos imposibles: debe crear vida en el Inframundo o perderá su libertad para siempre. Pero la apuesta hará algo más que exponer el fracaso de Perséfone como diosa. Al tiempo que las semillas de su libertad se esfuerzan por florecer, sus sentimientos hacia Hades crecen sin poder evitarlo, a pesar de saber que están… prohibidos.
Hades, dios del Inframundo, es conocido por reinar con dureza, tener lujosos clubs nocturnos y hacer tratos imposibles.
Cuando un mortal osa desafiar a la muerte, Hades se ve obligado a ayudar a las Moiras y enfrentarse a otros dioses sin pensar en las consecuencias. Y, acostumbrado a tener el control, no está listo para descubrir que hace tiempo las Moiras tejieron su destino: Perséfone, la diosa de la primavera, será su futura esposa y reina.
A pesar de su atracción por el dios, Perséfone está decidida a revelar al mundo los crueles y despiadados métodos de Hades. El dios se encuentra ante lo imposible: demostrarle a su futura esposa que está equivocada.
Pero hay fuerzas decididas a separarlos, y Hades se dará cuenta de que haría cualquier cosa por su amor prohibido, incluso desafiar al destino.
La relación de Perséfone con Hades se ha hecho pública y ha desatado una tormenta mediática que ha alterado su vida y amenaza con sacar a la luz su condición de diosa. Tampoco ayuda que todo el mundo parezca decidido a alejar a Perséfone del dios de los muertos exponiendo su terrible pasado.
Las cosas solo empeoran cuando una horrible tragedia deja el corazón de Perséfone en la ruina y Hades se niega a ayudar. Desesperada, toma el control de la situación y hace tratos que traerán graves consecuencias.
Tras enfrentarse con un lado de Hades que no conocía, ¿puede Perséfone realmente llegar a convertirse en la reina del Inframundo?
'Could you love me?' he whispered. The question stole my breath and burned my lungs in the silence that followed.
I wanted to answer, to whisper yes into the space between us, but I was afraid.
All Gesela's life, her home village of Elk has been cursed. And it isn't a single curse-it is one after another, each to be broken by a villager, each with devastating consequences. When Elk's well goes dry, it is Gesela's turn to save her town by killing the toad that lives at the bottom. Except . . . the toad is not a toad at all. He is an Elven prince under a curse of his own, and upon his death, his brothers come for Gesela, seeking retribution.
As punishment, the princes banish Gesela to live with their seventh brother, the one they call the beast. Gesela expects to be the prisoner of a hideous monster, but the beast turns out to be exquisitely beautiful, and rather than lock her in a cell, he offers Gesela a deal. If she can guess his true name in seven days, she can go free.
Gesela agrees, but there is a hidden catch-she must speak his name with love in order to free him, too.
But can either of them learn to love in time?

From the brilliant mind of A Touch of Darkness's bestselling author Scarlett St. Clair comes a YA crossover in a darkly unique fantasy world.
Anora Silby can see the dead and turn spirits into gold coins, two things she would prefer to keep secret as she tries to lead a normal life at her new school. After all, she didn't change her identity for nothing.
Hiding her weirdness is just one of many challenges. By the end of her first day, she's claimed the soul of a dead girl on campus and lost the coin. Turns out, the coin gives others the ability to steal souls, and when a classmate ends up dead, there's no mistaking the murder weapon.
Navigating the loss of her Poppa, the mistrust of her mother, the attention of gorgeous and enigmatic Shy, and Roundtable, an anonymous student gossip app threatening to expose her, are hard enough. Now she must find the person who stole her coin before more lives are lost, but that means making herself a target for the Order, an organization that governs the dead on Earth-and they want Anora and her powers for themselves.
Become enchanted by the fantasy world of gods and mortals in bestselling author Scarlett St. Clair's reimagined New Greece. Listeners are 'hopelessly addicted' to the story of Hades and Persephone told from Hades's point of view.
Hades, God of the Dead, does not take sides or bend the rules. He makes no exceptions to these values-not for god or mortal, even his lover, Persephone, Goddess of Spring.
Usually, fear prevents retaliation.
But not this time.
When Hera, Goddess of Women, approaches Hades with a plan to overthrow Zeus, he declines to offer help. As punishment, Hera sentences Hades to perform a series of labors. Each feat seems more impossible than the last and draws his attention away from Persephone-whose own tragedy has left her questioning whether she can be Queen of the Underworld.
Can Hades maintain the balance he craves?
