 On a dare, Bale spends the night in the restricted part of the woods. What, or rather, who he discovers there will forever change his life. YA Fantasy, YA Adult Content Warning: Closed Door Romance, Mild Violence/Fight Scenes. In woods full of tall timbers at the edge of a massive lake, a Wild One appeared with hair as red as her lips. She wasn’t sure how she arrived in the forest, but was convinced it had something to do with the hunters that had attacked her people. They’d come in the dead of night, speaking in a loud, strange tongue. The oddly dressed people smelled of smoldering fire and rotten grain. At first, her tribe attempted to communicate with them, but the intruders ignored them. The hunters barged into their homes, grabbing any young Wild One they found and dragging them outside. This enraged the villagers, and they began fighting back. The Wild Ones had almost defeated them when the hunters placed funny masks over their faces. An evil cloud enveloped them, and everything went dark. 

Sixteen years ago, a terrible Curse struck the Earth. Humanity is still fighting it today.

  What if Persephone could bring spirits back from the dead?

Without even counting his unruly shadow self, overworked Hades can’t keep up with the incoming corpses, monsters, and misfits sent to the infamous Far Realm. His desire to give everyone another chance at life—or afterlife—has become almost impossible. Without help, that is. Seph dreams of romance and adventure while she works in the royal garden under her mother’s watchful eye. When her life-giving ability catches Hades’ attention, he ignores her protests and steals her away. Although other gods fear Hades with all his intensity, elegance, and mysterious power, Seph (or Persephone as he insists on calling her) can’t help but be lured in. But Hades can’t allow their fiery connection to ignite. The Far Realm needs him focused, and innocent Seph might not survive the darkness that lurks beneath his own skin.

Will his attempts to push her away be enough to overcome their mutual obsession?
