Love and Fate

God of the Dead. King of the Underworld. The Unseen. The Renowned…The Glorified Babysitter.

Zeus has finally decreed that the gods may leave Olympus and mingle - anonymously - with the mortals of the present. With zero warning or waiting for him to consent to this arrangement, Hades is placed in charge of not only helping the gods assimilate but also financing them. Unlike the other gods, Hades never withdrew from the mortal world. Instead he spent six months of every year among them, building a fortune befitting one of his many names. As long as the gods follow his strict rules for living among mortals, they have access to a generous monthly stipend. Break the rules, lose the privileges. No allowances. Ever. 

Goddess of Spring. The Maiden. The Mistress. The Venerable One…The Social Media Manager. 

For the last two years, Persephone has lived among the mortals, enjoying everything the world she was so sheltered from has to offer. It took years of begging since Zeus’s decree to get her mother to allow her to go, and she imparted some strict rules to follow. Rule 1: No fraternizing with other gods. As far as Demeter is aware, Persephone’s next door neighbor is definitely not Helios, the Titan of the Sun. Rule 2 : No men. The mortal she’s casually dating doesn’t even know the gods exist. Rule 3: Every six months, come home for a visit or be forced home. This one she can’t get out of, and if it keeps her mother from investigating Persephone’s life, what’s the harm in a visit? 

Destiny. Fate. Fortune. Kismet…An absolute bitch. 

Fate has other ideas for Hades and Persephone, and it does not take lightly to being denied. Struggle and fight all they want. But the threads of destiny have wrapped tightly around them and tugs them tighter and tighter, no matter what the gods themselves have to say about it.

God of the Dead. King of the Underworld. The Unseen. The Renowned…

Trapped.

Hades has finally claimed his fated queen, but at a cost that neither of them could have foreseen. Taken from his secure penthouse, he’s transported into the heart of a carnivorous tree which is sapping his power. In a moment of panic, he sends a call out hoping for relief, a distraction from the torture he’s enduring. He’d hoped Persephone would answer. But another god is the first to hear him, sending him the last place he’d ever want to be: his memories.

Goddess of Spring. The Maiden. The Mistress. The Venerable One…

The New Queen.

Queen of the Underworld was never a title Persephone Prosperina expected to hold. And yet, if the crown fits, right? Perspephone is plunged into her new role, feeling completely unsupported by the god that put her there. A god that is not expected in the Underworld for another month. But Persephone isn’t so sure that her fated mate is living it up in the mortal realm, but will anyone listen to her concerns and can she find him before time runs out?

Nightmares plague them both, calling to them to fulfill the destiny that awaits them. One that has only just begun. Destiny. Fortune. Kismet. Fate…Will not be denied.

God of the Dead. King of the Underworld. The Unseen. The Renowned.

A King without his Queen.

They were at odds for what felt like months living together, and just when he finally felt they were on stable footing, she's again wrenched from his grasp. Is this their true destiny? To be torn from each other over and over again? Yet, Demeter could never count on their mental connection, one as tied to the Underworld as they are. Too powerful and too old for even Demeter to touch.

Goddess of Spring: The Maiden. The Mistress. The Venerable One.

The Queen without her King.

It's another day on Olympus, as her mother's carefully guarded secret. Never seen. Never heard. Except for the dark, mysterious man who visits her dreams.

One who keeps insisting they know each other. Not just know each other He states quite clearly, they're married.

Destiny. Fate. Fortune. Kismet.

Time's Up.

Yet the lack of memory isn't their only problem, the Underworld is under attack. And the Titans are loose. Blood will be spilled. The Destroyer of Worlds will awaken. And nothing will be the same.

The Nightmare…

Melinoë, Goddess of Nightmares and Ghosts, mysteriously spawned from the deepest pits of Tartarus, spent centuries barely surviving and enduring torture in the Underworld. Now she spends her life teetering on the brink of insanity and clinging to reality. After one fateful night in a nightclub with her best friend, Persephone, Melinoë gains a stalker in the form of the Titan of the Sun.

The Daydream…

Helios, Titan of the Sun, became instantly obsessed with the little gothic Goddess of Nightmares the second she knocked him out after their tryst in the club bathroom. Since then, he has shined for her and her alone. But war is here, and Helios has some big decisions to make regarding which side he will fight for. Will he choose love or his family?

Some Opposites Should Not Cross Paths…

When tragedy strikes, Melinoë has to use her abilities to bridge the gap between her friends. The problem? Every time she does, she is pushed closer to the edge of complete insanity. Mellie would rather dive headfirst into the River Styx than admit that the only person able to pull her from the deepest recesses of her mind is the one person she can’t stand. Will Melinoë allow herself to open up to the Titan of the Sun? Will Helios choose to fight alongside his family or stand by his friends?
