Gr 9 Up—This modern adaptation of the Persephone and Hades myth continues to hit all the right notes. After choosing his love for Daphne over his family honor and the survival of the Underrealm, Haden, along with Daphne and friends, must uncover the Eternity Key. Rich world-building and a swoon-worthy romance will thrill fans of mythology-based sagas and will keep readers anticipating the conclusion.
Haden (a banished Underlord), Daphne, and their friends search for the Key of Hades and a way to return to the Underrealm in time to prevent monsters from being loosed upon the world. The multiple first-person narrators' voices are not particularly distinctive, but the banter and will-they-won't-they angst of this tale inspired by the Persephone myth will appeal to supernatural-romance fans.
