Hades was raised to rule Perdition. But ruling became survival the day a small demon girl appeared at the castle calling him "brother." To protect Lilith from the people who feared her, he became someone they feared more. Cruel. Ruthless. Untouchable.
And after centuries of wearing the mask of a monster, he no longer remembers how to take it off.
Then Persephone arrives in the Underworld.
After finally escaping the control of her overbearing mother, Persephone finds herself drawn to the one place she was always taught to fear-and to the king whispered about in frightened voices. But beneath Hades' cold reputation is something far more dangerous: kindness he thought he buried long ago.
As feelings begin to grow between them, both Hades and Persephone are forced to confront the people they've been shaped into-and the people they still wish to become.
Perdition's King is a mythology-inspired dark romantasy about identity, survival, healing, and finding light in the dark.
