I know I should leave, but I don't want to. I want to keep my senses like this forever. I'm all eye, all ear, all skin. Persephone lives in the most gorgeous place in the world. But her mother's a goddess, as overprotective as she is powerful. Paradise has become a trap. Just when Persephone feels there's no chance of escaping the life that's been planned for her, a mysterious stranger arrives. A stranger who promises something more—something dangerous and exciting—something that spurs Persephone to make a daring choice. A choice that could destroy all she's come to love, even the earth itself. In a land where a singing river can make you forget your very name, Persephone is forced to discover who—and what—she really is. 5390862 1 5 2009 Radiant Darkness total:151|5:21|4:64|3:51|2:12|1:3| 151 541 487 52 4 0 false false Thu Mar 26 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Thu Mar 26 07:51:16 -0700 2009 Thu Mar 26 08:28:39 -0700 2009 1 more...]]> 3 1 false false Wed Mar 18 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Thu Mar 05 13:54:22 -0800 2009 Thu Mar 19 07:05:03 -0700 2009 more...]]> 4 0 false false Sun Feb 15 00:00:00 -0800 2009 Sun Feb 15 21:35:34 -0800 2009 Sun Feb 15 21:48:59 -0800 2009 more...]]> 4 1 false false Wed Feb 11 13:38:08 -0800 2009 Wed Feb 11 13:40:21 -0800 2009
