Series
Hades x Persephone
Scarlett St. Clair · 7 novels · 2019–2024
A Touch of Darkness opens Scarlett St. Clair's Hades x Persephone series with Persephone, goddess of spring in name only, drawn into a wager with Hades, god of the dead, that pulls her into the Underworld and an increasingly public relationship. Later books track that relationship toward marriage, including a conflict with Demeter, who unleashes a crippling storm on the mortal world rather than accept the match. The four-book series reworks the Hades and Persephone myth as a modern dark-romance arc rather than a straight retelling.
