Girl, Goddess, Queen (Winner Of Romantic Novelists' Associatn

GIRL,GODDESS,QUEEN:A HADES AND PERSEPHONE FANTASY ROMANCE (WINNER OF ROMANTIC NOVELISTS' ASSOCIATION AWARDS 2024 (UK). SHORT-LISTED FOR YA BOOK PRIZE 2024 (UK)) To hell with love, this goddess has other plans... Thousands of years ago, the gods told a lie: how Persephone was a pawn in the politics of other gods. How Hades kidnapped Persephone to be his bride. How her mother, Demeter, was so distraught she caused the Earth to start dying. The real story is much more interesting. Persephone wasn't taken to hell: she jumped. There was no way she was going to be married off to some smug god more in love with himself than her. Now all she has to do is convince the Underworld's annoyingly sexy, arrogant and frankly rude ruler, Hades, to fall in line with her plan. A plan that will shake Mount Olympus to its very core. But consequences can be deadly, especially when you're already in hell . . . A fierce, fresh and enormously fun YA fantasy re-imagining from a growing TikTok superstar. "Bring[s] to life timeless gods, the complex intimacy of family bonds, a fierce protagonist, and a passionate slow-burn romance." Sue Lynn Tan, Sunday Times bestselling author of Daughter of the Moon Goddess. "A richly woven, gloriously funny and deeply swoony exploration of the Hades & Persephone myth."
