Synopsis

A daughter pulled between two worlds and a mother willing destroy both to protect her . . .

Demeter: a goddess of life, living half of one.

Demeter did not always live in fear. Once, she loved the world and the humans who inhabited it. After an act of devastating violence, though, she hides herself away among the grasses and wildflowers. Her only solace is her daughter . . .

Before she was Persephone, she was Core.

Core is as bright as summer and devoted to her mother, even during their millennia in exile from Olympus. But she craves freedom. Naïve and determined, she secretly builds a life of her own—and as she does so, she catches the eye of a powerful god . . .

The daughters of Olympus will have the last word . . .

Then Hades kidnaps Core and renames her as Queen of the Underworld. In the land without sun, she realizes she may have a chance to gain back what she thought she'd lost forever. But Demeter will destroy anything—even the humans she holds so dear—to bring her daughter back. A mother who has lost everything and a daughter with more to gain than she ever realized, they will irrevocably shape the world: all in the name of something as human as love.

4.75! "I was a goddess, but you made me a queen. I had power, but you were the one who showed me how to be powerful" This was such a complex book and such a well written story with morally grey characters that'll most definitely break your heart in two pieces 😭 its about sexual assault and the aft......more

'I am the daughter of Olympians. I am the Goddess of the Underworld. I am Persephone. This is my story'. I wasn't aware of the mythology around Demeter, her daughter Core and how Core became Persephone, Hades' wife. This story is told primarily in two parts, covering Demeter's story and then Core's P......more

I wanted to love this book more than I did, but the pacing was so slow for most of the book only for the ending to be rushed right when I felt like there was more I wanted to read. Demeter’s story was a little too redundant and Core’s story repeated a lot of the same happenings that we’d already see......more

Su due cose non posso essere oggettiva: Hannah Lynn e Ade e Persefone; sulla prima, perché mi sono innamorata dei suoi romanzi già al secondo capitolo de ‘Il segreto di Medusa’; sui secondi, perché – sebbene Ermes sia il mio spirito guida – quella dei Sovrani degli Inferi è sempre stata una mia ship......more
