A Game of Retribution
Become enchanted by the fantasy world of gods and mortals in bestselling author Scarlett St. Clair's reimagined New Greece. Readers are "hopelessly addicted" to the story of Hades and Persephone.
Hades, God of the Dead, does not take sides or bend the rules. He makes no exceptions to these values—not for god or mortal, even his lover, Persephone, Goddess of Spring.
Usually, fear prevents retaliation.
But not this time.
When Hera, Goddess of Women, approaches Hades with a plan to overthrow Zeus, he declines to offer help. As punishment, Hera sentences Hades to perform a series of labors. Each feat seems more impossible than the last and draws his attention away from Persephone—whose own tragedy has left her questioning whether she can be Queen of the Underworld.

Scarlett St. Clair
Scarlett St. Clair didn’t set out to reinvent Greek mythology—she simply asked the kind of questions that myths had left unanswered for centuries. What if Persephone wasn’t a passive figure? What if Hades, the god of the Underworld, wasn’t the villain? From those questions bloomed a literary world where ancient legends are unspooled into something darkly sensual, unapologetically modern, and irresistibly addictive.
A bestselling fantasy and paranormal romance author, St. Clair has cultivated a fiercely loyal readership with her Hades x Persephone saga and its sister series, Hades Saga and Adrian x Isolde. Her work is known for weaving rich mythological lore with contemporary dilemmas—power, consent, trauma, and love—all delivered through prose that simmers with tension and desire. She doesn’t shy away from exploring the gray spaces between right and wrong, nor does she dilute the potency of her heroines. Instead, she invites readers to witness women who claim their own agency in worlds where darkness is both a threat and a source of strength.
