Persephone inadvertently finds herself in one such bargain, and the terms are not in her favor – she must either create life in the Underworld or face eternity in Hades’ realm. As she is keen to hide her divinity and pass as a mortal, Persephone has so far not been tempted to break that promise, but all that changes after she accompanies one of her friends to Nevernight, Hades’ infamous nightclub where mortals and gods alike can strike bargains with the god of the dead himself. Her freedom, however, is contingent upon a promise that she made to her mother, the goddess Demeter: she will not associate with any of the gods, least of all the God of the Underworld, Hades. In this modern-day spin on the Hades and Persephone myth, Persephone is a journalism student, who after years of forced confinement at home, is enjoying her newfound freedom in the city of New Athens.
