What this book is about
Persephone flees an arranged marriage to Olympus's ruling Zeus by running straight to the underworld. Hades is nothing like the myths. Neon Gods is a modern retelling of the Hades/Persephone myth set in a corrupt city-state, and the BookTok phenomenon that launched the Dark Olympus series—one of the most discussed romantic retellings of the past three years.
