Scandalous gossip, wild parties, and forbidden love - the Greek tale of Hades and Persephone gets a romantic modern update in the gorgeously illustrated, Eisner Award-winning Lore Olympus, including a brand new bonus short story!
'Blood of mine or not, if you proceed with this trial, I hope you are prepared to live with the consequences.'
The rifts between realms grow ever wider as the temporary shelter Persephone had found in the Underworld is destroyed. Apollo has captured Demeter, turning the fugitive goddess over to Zeus in an attempt to win the king's favour. Persephone and her mother must now stand trial for concealing Persephone's unsanctioned act of wrath - though the goddess of spring feels secure with Hades on her side.
But safety is not guaranteed in the world of the gods.
As the trial brings to light truths and betrayals that threaten to upset everything - even Hades and Persephone's relationship - the other gods face perils of their own.
Eros uncovers Ampelus's secret during a fight in the Mortal Realm. Thanatos and Daphne's budding relationship is threatened by a vengeful Apollo. Minthe is trapped in her cursed form until Persephone gains full control over her powers. And Hera is haunted by the spectre of Kronos, whose influence in Olympus seems to be growing...
