To hell with love, this goddess has other plans... Thousands of years ago, the gods told a lie: how Persephone was a pawn in the politics of other gods. How Hades kidnapped Persephone to be his bride. How her mother, Demeter, was so distraught she caused the Earth to start dying. The real story is much more interesting.

‍

Persephone wasn’t taken to hell: she jumped. There was no way she was going to be married off to some smug god more in love with himself than her.

‍

Now all she has to do is convince the Underworld’s annoyingly sexy, arrogant and frankly rude ruler, Hades, to fall in line with her plan. A plan that will shake Mount Olympus to its very core. But consequences can be deadly, especially when you’re already in hell...

The second fierce, fresh and gloriously romantic YA Greek myth re-imagining from Bea Fitzgerald, growing TikTok superstar and Sunday Times bestselling author of Girl, Goddess, Queen.

‍

‍Love caused this war. At least, that’s what the stories will say.

‍

‍When Cassandra’s patron god, Apollo, offers her the gift of prophecy—and all the power that comes with it—she seizes the opportunity. But when she fails to uphold her end of the agreement, she discovers just how very far she has to fall. No-one believes her visions. Which all seem to be of one girl—and she’s going to start a war.

‍

Helen fled Sparta in pursuit of love—though that’s proving more elusive than she’d hoped. Far from home, Helen’s navigating all the politics and backstabbing of the Trojan court.

‍

And one princess seems particularly intent on driving her from the city...

For fans of Rachel Hawkins with a salacious reality show edge, Then Things Went Dark follows a cast of hot-headed contestants competing to prove themselves to an audience of millions... But with eyes following you everywhere, how can you hide your motive to kill?

‍

The first episode is waiting... Are you ready to watch? No murder has ever had more witnesses...

‍

Six people land on a desert island ready to make their reality show debut. The contestants are suitably glamorous and dramatic—and they’re also hungry to prove themselves. The stakes are high and with millions of viewers watching, losing is not an option. But three weeks and eighteen episodes later, five of the six contestants sit in a Portuguese police station, and none of them are winners.

‍

Because twelve million people were watching when Rhys Sutton died on camera, and someone must pay for the crime.

‍

The best friend, the rival, the girlfriend, the lover, and the sworn enemy are left standing. And of course, no-one is talking. But how do you keep secrets when the world has been watching? Especially when, just a day before his murder, Rhys was the most hated man on television.
