Divine Madness - K. M. Brovold

Set in Ancient Greece, Divine Madness is a tale of tragedy, mythology, history, fantasy, and the psychological struggle between love and rancorous vengeance. A story that will make one think, "How interesting if it were true? What if what we knew of mythology was simply misunderstood?"

Persephone, goddess of the seasons, has found sanctuary with Hades. She is willing to leave her past behind her, until her callous father Zeus welcomes a new son into the world. Despite him being only half-god, Zeus takes pride in his son and his prophecy, believing he will reign beside him in his ruthless legacy. In Persephone's eyes, this cannot happen. The world cannot handle having another cruel god like Zeus. Driven by vengeance, she will do anything to prevent his rise, even if it means betraying the one being who has shown her nothing but love: Hades.

Hades, god of the Underworld, carries the weight of a haunted past like the shadows he commands. His power is immense, feared, and yet, there is a side of him that he doesn't share, not even with Persephone, but it is a necessary evil to uphold his promises. To protect the souls who seek solace in his beloved Underworld, but sacrifices will have to be made in response to Persephone's actions. And little does he know, these sacrifices mean more to what The Fates will bring.

Fate is not just a force. They are the Moirai, the three Fates who weave the threads of destiny. And they have a grander plan designed for these two immortals. More so than either of the them realize.
