The Taking of Persephone Series: Hades
"Careful what you say, Goddess," he breathed, "I may not let you leave."...
A wicked smile spread her lips once more, "Perhaps it is you who should be careful, my king."



Hades, the King of the Underworld and God of the Dead, had a lonely existence in his realm. Meeting and judging the shades, attending the few meetings in Olympus, and spending as little time in the mortal realm as possible. That is until Thanatos goes missing, Elysium begins to decay, and he is stuck leaving his realm to collect souls on the fates' request.

His task was simple, retrieve Icarus and return.

But when he finds the young Goddess of Spring massacring a patch of wildflowers, he soon finds he is not the only Divine with Duality.

Over several chance encounters, he learns the sweet Goddess of Spring has far more to offer than dainty petals, and that her vengeance is just as insatiable as his.

In this second installment to The Taking of Persephone Series, we see Hades' account of the events. Not just the same tale told twice over, but new Gods, new creatures, and new locations rediscovered from Hades' eyes.

"The Taking of Persephone Series" is a mythological historical fiction set in times of antiquity that contains slight gore, crude language, and graphic sex scenes.
It is intended for an Audience 18 or older or whatever is considered a legal adult by the laws set by your own Government.

Includes Bonus Chapter in Hermes POV

About the Author

Ambrosia R. Harris is a writer, creator, herbalist and mother. She has been writing fictional stories since she was in high school and has always found interest in Greek Mythology. She isn't just interested in the mythology, but the ancient religion as well. She does consider herself Hellenic and her current project is one of her biggest offerings and devotions to not only her two Characters, but the Deities she consults with.
Upon reading many different versions and retellings of the most famous kidnapping, she found herself still thirsty for more about Persephone, more about what really drew her to the underworld, after all, she did decided to stay. With that, Ambrosia began her two year journey into writing the first part of a five book series.
Thank you for joining her on this amazing trip to the Underworld and get to know the Chthonic Gods that reside there!
