(From Kickstarter) In his ancient hymns, Homer tells us of the unyielding Lord of the Dead who kidnapped the innocent daughter of Demeter. He tells us quite a bit, in fact, for someone who wasn’t there.

Persephone is no tragic victim, but a kind young woman held in place by her overbearing mother. A failed scheme by Apollo leads her to a chance encounter with the humorless Hades, who is struck by love’s arrow. Now he must wrestle with his aching heart before he loses control entirely.

...Not that the infatuated Persephone has any complaints regarding Hades' plight.

As desire blooms between the secluded goddess of the harvest and the ruler of the underworld, the world changes both above and below.

Allison Shaw, creator of comics Far to the North and Tigress Queen, drew on her passion for mythology and ear for modern dialogue to create an updated myth for a mature audience. She wished to offer to her readers a feminist and sensual take on the story, which has grown more and more popular over the years, thanks to its themes of change, rebirth and growth.

Pra quem gosta do conto

Não tem novidade nem mesmo inovação, aqui o autor usa da versão em que Hades é acertado pela flecha de Eros.
Tinha mais espaço pra desenvolvimento, confesso que fiquei esperando mais, mas levando em consideração que a gente já conhece a história, o autor só se apegou na versão dele e nos deu um bom fan service.
É uma leitura rápida e a arte é bonita, vale a pena dar uma olhada.
