Does she love him enough to forego her heart's desire?

As queen of hell, Persephone revels in the freedom granted by darkness. She finds meaningful work in the release she provides shades seeking repentance and atonement. But when her mother bids her beware Dìs' cruel side, Persephone's newly won assurance falters.

After her husband invites Persephone to again witness 'the dance' at his side?a sadistic rite essential to his rule over Hades?she sees its horror with fresh clarity. And knows she can no longer condone this torture of innocents.

But if her scheme to provide Dìs another source of strength fails, Persephone will confront an impossible choice. Unless she forfeits the god she loves most?and the wellspring of her own strength?the macabre ritual must persist forever.

Queen's Cusp is the sixth tale in the vivid Hades Cycle. If you enjoy lyrical mythology that moves quickly, keeps you guessing, and magnificently captures the terror and passion of the ancient gods, you'll love J.M. Ney-Grimm's twist on the story of Hades' king and queen.
