Persephone is a goddess whose touch kills every flower she grows — Goddess of Spring in name only — living undercover as a mortal journalism student in the modern city of New Athens. When a daring night out leads her into Hades' exclusive nightclub, a reckless bet spirals into a binding contract: she must cultivate life in the Underworld or forfeit her freedom to the God of the Dead forever. As she returns again and again to his realm to fulfil the bargain, the line between enemy and lover begins to blur.
