A romantic fantasy on the trending theme of the myth of Hades and Persephone in a contemporary interpretation!

But instead of a mighty ruler of souls, he turns out to be an ordinary guy with his own sorrows and joys…

What is it like when your best friend secretly steals your boyfriend? And when everything is revealed, everyone else knows about it before you do? Kory found herself in just such a situation. And now she burns with anger, wishing death upon Bri. Only when her friend is found dead can nothing be brought back. Kory is given a unique chance: to enter that very Afterlife that we all dream of knowing. And to convince herself of how unfairly we are sometimes judged for our transgressions…

«A youth fantasy that combines mythology and the aesthetics of our modern world at the same time. First, together with Kory, we experience a whole storm of emotions, and then we find ourselves straight into Hell! And as the story unfolds, we begin to doubt: who is the monster and who is the real victim?» — Goodreads.com
