Unfortunately, this is where the story starts to falter. She must make life in the Underworld, or live there eternally.
When she asks Hades to teach her how to play poker, she lands herself in a deal with him. Persephone meets Hades without knowing it when she attends one of his clubs with a friend. The descriptions just made me want to live in that world. Her comparisons of the Upper World to the Under World were thought provoking and interesting. And I loved her descriptions of the Underworld. The city of New Athens, the ways the gods connected with humans through business ventures. What I really loved about the story was the world that St. Hades and Zeus agree to allow Persephone to return for 6 months each year, but she must always return to the Underworld.Ī Touch of Darkness reads a bit differently. Her mother, Demeter, begs Hades to allow Persephone to return to the land of the living. While she is there, she eats 4 pomegranate seeds which ties her to her captor, Hades. In the myth, Hades falls in love with Persephone and traps her in the Underworld. Clair is a retelling of the myth of Hades and Persephone.
