Queen of Shadows and Roses (Brothers of Olympus 1) - Paperback

by Helena M. Craggs (Author)

. ?

A dark & steamy Hades & Persephone retelling. The first in an interconnected series where ruthless gods rule both ancient realms and neon-lit cities.

He would tear stars from the heavens and rip mountains from the earth to reclaim her.

She would burn the world to ash to see his kind undone.

In a modern world ruled by gods, Persephone-a fierce demon hunter forged in fire and thorns-refuses to bow.

When Hades, the fanged and arrogant King of Shadows, abducts her, she spits in the face of the prophecy that binds them as soulmates. But as her powers awaken in the Underworld, she becomes more than a captive-she becomes a prize.

At Zeus's command, her courtship is opened to the pantheon. Sworn enemies line up to seduce her, masking treachery with divine charm. Yet it's Hades-dark, damaged, and obsessed-who stirs something deeper.

Too bad her magic remembers what her mind does not.

And too bad Hades isn't the only god who wants her

Persephone refuses to be claimed. Hades refuses to let her go.

As tension mounts and ancient passions rekindle, one thing becomes clear:

sometimes the shadows hide not monsters... but the fiercest kind of love.

Queen of Shadows and Roses is the seductive first instalment in the Brothers of Olympus series-an interconnected, spicy fantasy romance saga that reimagines Greek mythology with a dark, modern twist. Step into a world where ruthless gods rule from both thrones and skyscrapers, where war brews between fate and desire, and powerful, unapologetic women rise to meet it head-on. Packed with sharp banter, smouldering tension, and gods you'll love to hate (and hate to love), this series is perfect for fans of Jennifer L. Armentrout, Caroline Peckham, Scarlett St Clair, and K.F. Breene.

Queen of Shadows and Roses includes a few TW/CWs. For more information, please check the book's trigger warning page in the table of contents.
