This edition of Smythe's original Eisner-nominated webcomic Lore Olympus brings Greek mythology into the modern age in a sharply perceptive and romantic graphic novel. With all the mounting pressure and expectations-of their family, friends, and enemies-both Hades and Persephone tell themselves to deny their deepest desires, but the pull between them is too tempting, too magnetic. As Persephone contemplates her future, Hades struggles with his past, falling back into toxic habits in Minthe's easy embrace. And after Apollo's assault, Persephone fears she can no longer bury the intense feelings of hurt and love that she's worked so hard to hide. Her attraction to Hades has only complicated the intense burden of the gods' expectations. Since coming to Olympus, Persephone has struggled to be the perfect maiden goddess. But despite the rumors of their romance, Hades and Persephone have plenty to navigate on their own.
