A Touch of Darkness

£9.49

A Touch of Darkness by Scarlett St. Clair is a modern myth retelling filled with temptation, power, and a love that feels as inevitable as it is dangerous.

Persephone may be the Goddess of Spring, but her gift has never come easily. Flowers wither at her touch, and she’s spent her life hiding what she cannot control. In New Athens, she tries to live quietly as a mortal journalist, hoping anonymity will keep the past at bay.

Then she meets Hades.

God of the Dead, owner of a glittering gambling empire, and the subject of rumours that feel too sharp to ignore. One encounter pulls Persephone into a contract with him, and the terms are impossible: create life in the Underworld, or lose her freedom forever.

As Persephone fights to earn her way out, the bargain exposes more than her fear of failure. It draws her closer to Hades, and to a forbidden connection that threatens to undo everything she thought she wanted.
