He would move mountains and stars to reclaim her.
She would burn the world to destroy the gods.
In a modern world ruled by gods, Persephone—a fierce demon hunter—refuses to bow. When Hades, the dark and arrogant King of Shadows, abducts her, she rejects the prophecy that binds them as soulmates. She’s no fragile blossom—she was forged in fire and thorns.
As her powers bloom in the Underworld, Zeus opens her courtship to all gods, turning her into a coveted prize. Once-sworn enemies now compete for her hand, hiding treachery behind seduction and divine charm.
Drawn to her enigmatic, fanged captor even as she defies him, Persephone battles the pull of a love born in darkness. Hades, emotionally repressed and haunted by a past loss, watches his rivals close in... his love for her threatening to become his ruin.
But sometimes, the deepest shadows hide the fiercest love.

Queen of Shadows and Roses is the seductive first instalment in the Brothers of Olympus series—an interconnected, spicy fantasy romance saga that reimagines Greek mythology with a dark, modern twist. Step into a world where ruthless gods rule both ancient realms and neon-lit cities, where war brews between fate and desire, and powerful, unapologetic women rise to meet it head-on. Packed with sharp banter, smouldering tension, and gods you’ll love to hate (and hate to love), this series is perfect for fans of Jennifer L. Armentrout, Caroline Peckham, J. Bree, and K.F. Breene.

Author’s Note: Queen of Shadows and Roses is the beginning of a sizzling New Adult fantasy romance rooted in the Hades and Persephone myth. Expect slow-burn intensity, enemies-to-lovers tension, mature themes, and a growing heat level that builds with every chapter. The spark starts slow—but the fire will consume you. 🌶️🌶️🌶️ You have been warned.

Queen of Shadows and Roses includes a few TW/CWs. For more information, please check the book's trigger warning page in the table of contents.
