A Touch of Darkness by Scarlett St. Clair reimagines the love story of Hades and Persephone in a modern, seductive retelling of Greek mythology. Persephone, the Goddess of Spring, is living a mortal life in the bustling city of New Athens, hiding her divine powers and yearning for independence. Her carefully constructed world unravels when she makes a deal with Hades, the enigmatic God of the Dead, that forces her to create life in the Underworld or risk losing her freedom.
As Persephone navigates her growing attraction to Hades, she discovers a side of him that challenges everything she’s been taught about the god of darkness. With its intoxicating romance, rich mythology, and emotional depth, A Touch of Darkness is an irresistible tale of love, power, and self-discovery.
