What this book is about
Kate Winters agrees to submit to seven tests administered by the god Henry (Hades) in exchange for him keeping her dying mother alive for the year of testing. If she passes all seven, she becomes his immortal queen. Aimee Carter's YA Persephone retelling gives agency to its protagonist, dealing with questions of choice and consent in the context of divine bargaining, in a warmly written and accessible story.
