Their love inspired a legend, but first, it will ignite a war in this gender-swapped Hades and Persephone reimagining. History tells of Zeus, Poseidon, and Hades, the three ruling brothers of Mount Olympus, but history is mistaken. In the beginning, Hades was not a god but merely an immortal woman loved and then betrayed by Zeus. Her fall from grace exiles her to the Underworld, a realm absent a god since the dawn of creation and rampant with chaos and decay. But Hades is destined for a dark and terrible greatness, and the Underworld welcomes her with open arms. Hell has finally found its god. Zeus' betrayal will not go unpunished. Hades' disgrace will have its vengeance, but destiny intervenes, and Hades is faced with choosing between revenge and the unexpected love of a handsome but mortal farmer. Pomegranate is the first book in this Greek Mythology reimagining and is perfect for fans of Madeline Miller, Sarah J. Maas, and The Witcher. *2nd Edition/2020--The story remains the same, but significant changes to the writing and editing have been made.

"The first have come, and they seek the last." The Oracle Of Delphi prophesied those words in the dead of night, carving ancient runes into the temple's stone with her own blood, but she has no memory of her midnight trance. She knows not who spoke through her, yet one thing is certain. It was not an Olympian. Alkaios and the Olympians are at a loss, the Oracle's foretelling igniting unease in their holy ranks, but Hades finds herself drawn to those words, haunted by those words. This prophecy plagues her nightmares and consumes her mind, yet they just might hold the key to who Hades truly is... or herald an ancient terror that could destroy the earth and end the reign of the Olympians. The Evils of the Underworld are no match for what is coming. Pitchfork is the epic second installment of the Pomegranate series, a Greek Mythology reimagining with a gender-swapped Hades and Persephone. Perfect for fans of Madeline Miller, Sarah J. Maas, and The Witcher.
A debut short story collection from one of Canada's most exciting new Aboriginal voices. "In our family, it was Trish who was Going To Be Trouble; I was Such a Good Girl." At times haunting, at times hilarious, Just Pretending explores the moments in life that send us down pathways predetermined and not-yet-forged. These are the liminal, defining moments that mark irreversible transitions n girl to mother, confinement to freedom, wife to murderer. They are the melodramatic car-crash moments n the outcomes both horrific and too fascinating to tear our eyes from. And they are the unnoticed, infinitely tiny moments, seemingly insignificant (even ridiculous) yet holding the power to alter, to transform, to make strange. What links these stories is a sense of characters working n both with success and without, through action or reaction n to separate reality from perception and to make these moments into their lives' new truths.
