In this dark and intense retelling of the Hades and Persephone myth, a powerful demon has spent years stalking his target. He finally catches the scent of his "little witch," dragging her from the world of the living into the depths of the Underworld. He intends to claim her as his eternal bride, but his captive is far from the terrified victim he expects. The protagonist faces a grim fate: her twenty-first birthday marks a sacrificial ritual intended to bolster the failing Earth Coven against a tide of deadly magic. While she initially views her abduction as a curse, she soon realizes that the shadows of the Underworld might be her only salvation. Caught in a dangerous game of survival, she discovers that her captor may hold the missing key to unlocking her own dormant power. Blending high-stakes fantasy with a possessive, enemies-to-lovers romance, this story reimagines classic mythology through a dark, modern lens. As the line between captor and savior blurs, the two must navigate a treacherous path to stop the destruction of their realms. It is a steamy, atmospheric journey perfect for readers who enjoy gothic atmosphere, fated bonds, and magical intrigue.
