Luther Hades has always been my familyâs sworn enemy. Heâs the opposite of everything we stand forâruthless to the core.
Iâm not afraid of him. Itâs my mother who cowers and hides. All my life, sheâs hidden me from him. Hidden me from the world. Not anymore.
Iâve planned my escape down to the last detail. But two steps outside the safety of my motherâs house, the devil comes calling. And nobody hears me scream.
*****
Little Sepphie Anthela doesnât know sheâs in danger. That her fool of a lover has betrayed her. That her adorable plan is a death sentence.
She doesnât know how men look at her.
And she doesnât know the lengths Iâm willing to go to protect her. Sheâll be safe in my underground kingdomâeven if it kills me.
KING OF SHADOWS is a dirty and dark contemporary retelling of Hades & Persephone. Itâs the underworld, after all.

âAre you going to kill me now?â
My men step up behind her, but she doesnât dare turn her head. Two of them hook their arms under Deckerâs and drag him past us, giving us a wide berth. Her eyes follow his slumped body. The man wonât shut up. All the groaning, the whiningâfucking pathetic.
âYou said you would do anything to save him. That was your bargain. Are you telling me youâd rather be dead?â
A flicker of fear is chased off her face by a nameless expression, a light flaring in her eyes. She glances down at Conor, the whites of her eyes glowing in the moonlight. âNo,â she whispers. âI want to live.â
I lean in close, bending down so my lips are level with my ear. Her heart beats hard under my fingertips. She smells sweet, like roses and sunshine and something unique to her. It must be the fresh softness of her. Fuck, the things Iâm going to do to her, dangling her not-boyfriend on a string as if sheâll ever be anything but mine. The urge to throw her down into the dirt is so strong it almost overtakes me, but now that all this has transpired, itâs best for the train to move on. Iâm no longer interested in dealing with Demeter tonightânot now that I have her daughter for my very own.
The poor thing.
âWeâll see how long that lasts.â
