But prophesy indicates darkness and light will demand two champions, the Black Sun and the Bright Star. Some are skeptical, fighting their own border skirmishes against pirates and giants. High King Aquilus summons his fellow kings to council, seeking an alliance in this time of need. Then there will be a war to end all wars.

This modern retelling has everything you want and need.īroody and misunderstood lord of the underworld, check. She has what would be considered a normal life, her only interactions with the gods are when she makes her way into nightclubs that they own.
I say modern day in that Persephone goes to university in New Athens and works at a newspaper.
