A Game of Retribution cover

In A Game of Retribution, Hades faces impossible challenges from Hera while trying to protect his love for Persephone and maintain his principles.

In A Game of Retribution, readers are drawn into a captivating reimagining of Greek mythology, where gods and mortals intertwine in unexpected ways. Bestselling author Scarlett St. Clair presents a fresh perspective on the timeless tale of Hades and Persephone, this time told through the eyes of Hades himself. The narrative is rich with intrigue, exploring themes of power, loyalty, and the complexities of love amidst divine politics.

Hades, the God of the Dead, is known for his unwavering principles. He stands firm, refusing to take sides or bend the rules, even when it comes to his beloved Persephone, the Goddess of Spring. However, when Hera, the Goddess of Women, approaches him with a scheme to dethrone Zeus, Hades's resolve is put to the test. Declining to assist, he finds himself facing Hera's wrath, which leads to a series of daunting challenges that threaten to consume him.

As Hades grapples with these seemingly insurmountable tasks, he must also contend with the emotional turmoil within Persephone, who is struggling to embrace her role as Queen of the Underworld. The stakes rise as Hades navigates the treacherous waters of divine retribution, questioning whether he can uphold the balance he cherishes while protecting the love he holds dear. A Game of Retribution is a tale of resilience, sacrifice, and the quest for redemption in a world where the lines between right and wrong are often blurred.
