Crowned in Ash

CROWNED IN ASH

The Goddess of Embers — Book One

Persephone was never meant to be a goddess.

At twenty-two, she has spent her life believing she understands her place in a world ruled by ancient gods, ruthless courts, and divine bloodlines. But beneath the surface of her mortal life lies a power she cannot explain—and a destiny someone has gone to great lengths to keep buried.

Then comes Hades.

Lord of the Underworld. King of the dead. A god feared by those who have never dared to look closely enough to understand him.

Their meeting should have been impossible. Their attraction, unforgivable.

Drawn into the Underworld, Persephone discovers a kingdom far different from the monstrous realm she was taught to fear—and a god who sees something inside her that even she cannot recognize. But the deeper she descends into his world, the more the carefully constructed truths of her life begin to crumble.

Ancient rivalries awaken. Divine alliances fracture. And the forces surrounding her are beginning to realize that Persephone is not simply a pawn in a game played by gods.

She is the game.

As forbidden power burns beneath her skin and enemies close in from every side, Persephone must decide what she is willing to sacrifice to claim the truth about who she is—and what she is becoming.

Because some crowns are inherited.

Others are forged in ash.

And when Persephone finally rises, the gods may discover they should have been afraid of her all along.
