Scandalous gossip, wild parties, and forbidden love intertwine in this modern retelling of the Greek tale of Hades and Persephone, beautifully illustrated in an Eisner Award-winning graphic novel. As Persephone's trial concludes, revelations threaten to ignite a new war among the gods. While she and Hades grow closer, their newfound peace is disrupted by the shocking revelation that Apollo is Zeus’s son. This news sends shockwaves through Olympus, prompting Zeus to banish Persephone to the Mortal Realm, severing her connection to the divine. Although this move undermines Apollo’s ambitions, it inadvertently sparks a decade-long cold war among the gods as Hades retaliates by closing the Underworld. Amidst the chaos, Kronos seizes the opportunity to escape his imprisonment and plot his own coup. Faced with the impending collapse of all realms, Persephone must descend into the Underworld to confront the power-hungry Titan, reclaim her rightful place as queen, and reunite with Hades. This edition features a brand-new exclusive short story from creator Rachel Smythe and compiles episodes 180–206 of the acclaimed webcomic, bringing the Greek pantheon into a contemporary setting with sharp insight and romance.
