A Hades and Persephone tale that is anything but a love story and told like you've never read it before. There is no love to be found in this retelling, at least not for Persephone, anyway. As in the typical tales, Hades abducts Persephone and whisks her away to the Underworld, where she becomes his bride. But their marriage bed is a far cry from anything she ever expected and she immediately voices her displeasure about her fate. Overwhelmed by her changing feelings, Hades' servant, a half-man half-Minotaur named Adonis, becomes Persephone's only comfort. With her burgeoning desires, she quickly turns to Adonis to do just that. Their intimate relationship comes to light and Hades is many things over the revelation, but lenient is not one of them. Hades kills Adonis and in her grief, Persephone vows to achieve her freedom from the King of Death. While navigating the palace after a big fight with Hades, Persephone comes upon a room where she discovers a chest full of treasures; one of which is the Infinity Stone. She steals the stone and through a chance meeting with an Oracle in Elysium, she discovers how the stone's power can set her free of Hades. With the stone's power now in her hands, will Persephone escape Hades, or will she be trapped with him forever? This version of Persephone is one fraught with the idea of freedom from Hades by killing the love he has for her. Will her misdeeds be the death of his love, or will Hades tire of her before she is successful? This version of Hades is multifaceted. There are many layers to the god who has the responsibility of the dead and their afterlife thrust upon him, and as such, he is often at war with his true nature; whatever that is? Finally, after thousands of years have passed, an unsuspecting young woman from Northwest Arkansas comes to possess the Infinity Stone, slowly unlocking all of Persephone's secrets trapped within. At first Melody thinks she has been dreaming, but the reality of the stone and its effects come to light, forever changing her life. Will Persephone's secrets and power set Melody free, or will they lead her to a life of torment and destruction at the hands of Hades?
Angela M. Johnson is an independently published BIPOC author of adult fantasy and romance novels living in Northwest Arkansas (NWA) with her family. She is active in the local writing community, taking part in critique and networking groups throughout NWA. She encourages other aspiring authors by donating her time to educate and share her knowledge of writer resources. She is a retired Army Veteran, mother, artist, Cosplayer, crafter, and Heavy Athlete competing in Scottish Highland Games. When she isn't writing full time, she is chasing dopamine; collecting skills and hobbies like they are Pokémon cards. From 3D printing, Laser Engraving, CNC Carving, and other types of fabrication, she is always drafting something or another, leaving doom piles in her wake. As an author, Angela takes the imagery that plays in her mind as if streaming from her television, and delivers it to you in written form by way of epic adventures, comedic banter, romantic entanglements, and high stakes action. She finds inspiration from all aspects of her life, incorporating her experiences to give her stories that authentic feel. She wants to do more than just give readers a story. She wants to take you on a journey where you get to know her characters and understand exactly what drives them. She wants you to ride the roller coaster of emotions that comes with putting people you've come to know and love through trials and tribulations, finding your favorite, and then being torn apart when they don't make it to the next scene. Her tales of love will have you weak in the knees, and her description of intimate relationships will have you begging for more. She published her first novel in 2022, "The Tuatha Dé Danann and the Prophecy of the Fallen," book one of a ten book Celtic Fantasy Series called "Telling of the Fallen." She has now ventured into the Romance genre, releasing three novels in 2023, with more to come in the future.
