I was forced to pretend to be the princess and marry Hades, the ruthless God of the Underworld. I thought he would kill me when he discovered I was only a scarred slave. But instead of destroying me, he kissed my wounds. "Whoever did this to you will burn in the Abyss," he swore. Those who humiliated me now beg us for mercy, but the King of Death does not forgive. I am no longer a prisoner; I am Persephone, his absolute Queen.
