A Touch of Malice (Hades X Persephone #3)

by Scarlett St. Clair

I am Persephone, future Queen of the Underworld, Lady of Your Fate. May you come to dread my presence.”

“But…he is the Lord of the Underworld.” “We’re all aware,” Hermes said. “Look at him—he’s the only goth in the room.”

This is power, she thought as her body flushed and fluttered with a chaotic tangle of emotion—the passion and pain of loving someone more than the air in her lungs and the glimmer of stars in the night sky.

When she saw his face, she saw a god—an ancient one full of rage and darkness and death.

“I will build temples in honor of our love, and I will worship you until the end of the world. There is nothing I wouldn’t sacrifice for you.”

We are all broken, Persephone. It’s what we do with the pieces that matters.”
