Neon Gods: A Scorchingly Hot Modern Retelling of Hades and Persephone (Dark Olympus Book 1)

Persephone Dimitriou, a society figure in the ultra-modern city of Olympus, plans to escape the political machinations of the Thirteen Houses. Her plans are disrupted when her mother arranges an engagement to Zeus, a powerful figure controlling the city's hidden operations. With few alternatives, Persephone flees to the forbidden undercity, where she strikes a bargain with a man she once thought mythical. Hades has lived in the shadows and wants no part of the world above. When he realizes Persephone can help him achieve long-sought revenge, he agrees to assist her—in exchange for a price. As they spend time together, Hades develops deeper feelings for Persephone and becomes willing to wage war against Olympus to keep her. This is a modern retelling of the Hades and Persephone myth, blending elements of romance and dark themes. It is the first book in the Dark Olympus series, which also includes Electric Idol (Eros & Psyche), Wicked Beauty (Achilles & Patroclus & Helen), and Radiant Sin (Apollo & Cassandra).
