Series: The Dark Fates Series

A spicy retelling of Persephone and Hades and the second in the Dark Fates series, centered around Greek deities and Otherworlders, for fans of Sav R. Miller, Jaysea Lynn, and Katee Robert

Buried alive in Ancient Greece two thousand years ago, Persephone, the Goddess of Spring, resurfaces in '90s New Orleans with no memory of who she is or where she belongs. Recognizing that Persephone is barely hanging onto her sanity, her friends from Olympus spring to her rescue. However the power of the Greek gods is not what it once was and Hermes, Artemis, and the rest have taken on other names and integrated into the mortal world. With their help, Persephone begins to recover and find her place, but she can’t shake the feeling that something crucial is missing from her life.

Hades has been at a loss since Persephone was taken from him, but he can’t rejoice at her return. A curse keeps him at a distance, unable to reunite with her in fear of an ancient and hungry force that stirs in the Big Easy. Though it devastates him, he’ll push her away just for her own good. But Persephone will not be denied the love she desperately craves.

In her follow-up to Of Prophecies & Pomegranates, T.C. Kraven reignites Persephone and Hades’s tumultuous, delicious love affair, much to the delight of romantasy and Greek mythology fans. Readers of Katee Robert, Jaysea Lynn, and Sav R. Miller will devour this rad time trip of a novel filled with 90s nostalgia, found family, passion, monsters, nymphs, and Otherworlders. Of Death & Desires brilliantly sets the stage for the rest of the Dark Fates series, in this tale that boldly proclaims some love stories never die.

Reviews for Of Death & Desires: A Dark Fates Novel

""Kraven, in this delicious forbidden romance, an expanded edition of her previously self-published Dark Fates series debut, dives into the booming subgenre of high-heat retellings of Greek myths.... Kraven’s world feels dark but lived-in, and both the central romance and the subplot about Helios and Narcissus are passionate and emotional....Fans of Katee Robert and Sav R. Miller will be hooked."" —Publishers Weekly on Of Prophecies & Pomegranates ""In this gorgeous retelling of Persephone and Hades, T. C. Kraven proves herself the Goddess of Romantasy."" --Gwenna Laithland, New York Times bestselling author and Bibliophage podcaster on Of Prophecies & Pomegranates
