Scarlett St. Clair

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.

Raised in Oklahoma and holding a Master’s degree in Library Science, St. Clair blends a deep academic love for storytelling with the kind of fearless imagination that fuels fandoms. She often credits her obsession with ancient history and folklore—not to mention her time spent devouring romance novels—as the bedrock of her craft.

What sets her apart isn’t just the way she reshapes myth or builds tension, but how she makes her readers feel seen through the emotional complexity of her characters. As she once said in an interview, "I write about power, but more importantly, I write about the struggle to reclaim it." That intention reverberates through every page, making her books more than fantasy—they’re catharsis.

With multiple titles hitting bestseller lists and a thriving global fanbase, Scarlett St. Clair has become a defining voice in romantasy. But she’s also proof that even the oldest stories can be reborn—so long as someone dares to ask, “What if?”

Hades & Persephone

In the Hades & Persephone series, myth and desire collide in a dark, intoxicating tale where love is both a curse and a salvation. Scarlett St. Clair weaves a captivating reimagining of one of the most well-known myths, transforming the ancient Greek story into a thrilling exploration of power, passion, and the fine line between light and darkness.

Persephone is not the innocent maiden she once appeared to be. In this version of the myth, she is a woman determined to carve her own path, only to find herself drawn into the enigmatic world of Hades, the God of the Underworld. The series begins with a modern twist on their first meeting—an undeniable pull between two souls fated to be bound together in more ways than one. As Persephone navigates her new life in the Underworld, she discovers that the line between captivity and freedom is blurred, and she must learn to wield her newfound power, all while facing the complex, hidden desires of those around her.

Hades, the powerful and misunderstood ruler of the Underworld, is no mere villain but a man shaped by his own darkness and desires. His relationship with Persephone is far from simple; it's a dance of passion, control, and the eventual discovery of what it means to love without losing oneself. As their bond deepens, so too does the tension between their opposing worlds, drawing them into a conflict where gods and mortals alike are forced to confront their most secret desires and fears.

The Hades & Persephone series pulses with a tantalizing blend of romance, intrigue, and mythology, offering readers a journey through a beautifully dark world where nothing is as it seems. St. Clair’s writing breathes new life into familiar characters, imbuing them with depth and complexity, while crafting a narrative that explores themes of identity, power, and transformation. Each book builds on the tension and complexity of Persephone and Hades’ relationship, blending lush world-building with sizzling emotional stakes, making it impossible to look away.

In this series, love doesn’t just bind—it reshapes everything. As Persephone steps into the Underworld, she uncovers the mysteries that not only bind her to Hades but also reveal the darkness within herself. With every twist, betrayal, and revelation, Hades & Persephone challenges what it means to belong, to love, and to face the consequences of both.

Fans of reimagined myths, slow-burn romance, and thrilling, atmospheric fantasy will find themselves utterly consumed by this darkly enchanting series. Hades & Persephone is an exploration of love and power, where the stakes are higher, the choices more perilous, and the journey more compelling with each turn of the page.
