Neon Gods

It was thought that he was a myth.

But he was mine from the minute I stepped across the River Styx and fell under his menacing enchantment.

Persephone Dimitriou, the darling of society, intends to leave the ultramodern metropolis of Olympus and establish herself far away from the shady intrigues of the Thirteen Houses. However, everything is destroyed when her mother tricks her into marrying Zeus, the menacing force concealed under the glitzy exterior of their metropolis.

With no other choice, Persephone escapes to the forbidden undercity and strikes a deal with a man she had previously thought to be a myth—a man who introduces her to a world she had no idea existed.

Hades has never wanted to come out of the light; he has lived his whole existence in the shadows. But when he discovers that Persephone can provide him with a little portion of the retribution he has been yearning for for years, it gives him every reason to assist her—at a cost. Hades, however, has developed a taste for Persephone after spending many sleepless nights entwined with her, and he will wage war against Olympus to keep her near.

A contemporary version of Hades and Persephone that is as naughty and delightful.
