This is book number 1 in the Dark Olympus series.
If you love a modern take on a classic love story, you'll love this one. Hades's and Persephone's love story is a tale as old as time and Robert has revamped this story in a way that is relatable and, frankly, really really hot.

Happy to report this book is 40-50% smut. 'Tis the spiciest book I've read to date, after ACOSF. It's a Hades and Persephone retelling...could not tell you if it is accurate. Kindle classifies this as "Humorous Erotica," but it honestly tugged at my heartstrings by the end. Like them ditching the dom-sub ruse because they started to love each other as equals??? C'mon, that's cute. PLUS MYTHS!
— MarionHe was supposed to be a myth. But from the moment I crossed the River Styx and fell under his dark spell…he was, quite simply, mine.
*A scorchingly hot modern retelling of Hades and Persephone that's as sinful as it is sweet.*
Society darling Persephone Dimitriou plans to flee the ultra-modern city of Olympus and start over far from the backstabbing politics of the Thirteen Houses. But all that's ripped away when her mother ambushes her with an engagement to Zeus, the dangerous power behind their glittering city's dark facade.
With no options left, Persephone flees to the forbidden undercity and makes a devil's bargain with a man she once believed a myth...a man who awakens her to a world she never knew existed.
Hades has spent his life in the shadows, and he has no intention of stepping into the light. But when he finds that Persephone can offer a little slice of the revenge he's spent years craving, it's all the excuse he needs to help her—for a price. Yet every breathless night spent tangled together has given Hades a taste for Persephone, and he'll go to war with Olympus itself to keep her close…
