Heart of Hades: A Hades and Persephone Retelling (Faeries of the Underworld Duology) by Katherine Macdonald

He was doomed to perish at the exquisite lies of that damned mortal goddess, doomed to love her to the end of his days. A time would come when her face would fade from his memory if he found no way to capture it, but he would spend the rest of his life grasping for the feeling her smile elicited in him. Forced to attend a ritual sacrifice on Samhain, Hades, a Prince of Faerie, instead claims the chosen victim as his own and spirits her away to his domain in the Underworld in order to save her life. Her name is Persephone. Unsure of her unconventional saviour's intentions, Persephone is initially reluctant to befriend him, and Hades is reluctant to draw her further into his dark world. But as the feelings between them deepen, Hades finds himself torn between a vow he cannot break, a love that may soon break him. Relive the romance and drama of "Thief of Spring" from Hades' POV. Although this can be read by itself, it is recommended that you read the original "Faeries of the Underworld" first. Read more
