Perry has the courtship from Hell-literally. Too bad that isn't her only problem. When Perry's powers as an earth sorceress finally come just before her nineteenth birthday, she's thrilled. Then comes the bad news. Her powers are a little extreme. Wherever she goes, everything grows like crazy. That's awkward enough, but it gets worse when people try to ravish each other when she walks by. According to her uncle, the sorcerer Zeusse, what Perry needs is a man, and his student Aros is just the one for her. But when she rejects him, Aros decides to teach her a lesson. He casts a spell that makes Perry irresistible to Hadis, the Lord of Death. Perry finds Hadis plenty attractive, but being kidnapped and dragged to his bleak, barren realm isn't exactly a recipe for romance. Now the captive of a powerful sorcerer blinded by a love spell, Perry must discover what exiles Hadis to his terrible domain. Only when she learns where her wild magic fits into the puzzle can she free both herself and Hadis-and make her unexpected love for him possible. "Springtime in Hades, set in modern central California, is a sweet romantic retelling of the Persephone and Hades myth."
