To escape a tyrant, she made a bargain with a monster. Now, he's come to collect.

In the glittering cage of Olympus City, socialite Persephone has been sculpted by privilege, but her life is not her own. When the city's sovereign, Zeus, demands her hand in marriage, she knows it's not for love, but for possession. His empire, built on surveillance and power, requires a queen to be its symbol?beautiful, silent, and caged. But Persephone would rather face the terror of the underworld than wear a ring that feels like a shackle.

Her only hope for escape is a forbidden whisper, a rumor of a god exiled to the shadows beneath the city. Hades, ruler of the Tartarus District, a man whose name is synonymous with dread. He is a myth, a monster, a king of rejects and rebels. He is her last resort. But the price for his protection is steeper than she could ever imagine.

Six months. Her obedience. Her time. Her body. Complete submission.

In this world of chrome and corruption, you will discover:

• A dark and steamy cyberpunk retelling of the Hades and Persephone myth.
• An alpha antihero who rules a criminal underworld and a defiant heroine who refuses to be just another prize.
• A high-stakes bargain of power, possession, and forbidden desire.
• A world of glittering gods and monstrous men, where every alliance is risky and every secret has a price.

He offered her protection from a monster, never realizing she was the one he should fear.

Will she survive the darkness, or will she become its queen?
