"He was never supposed to be real. But the moment she crossed into his world, she became his."

NEON GODS

Dark Olympus: Book 1 by Katee Robert

A sinfully dark retelling of Hades & Persephone

WHEN MYTH BECOMES REALITY

In the glittering city of Olympus, Persephone Dimitriou knows how to survive behind a perfect smile and a gilded cage. But when betrayal forces her to flee into the shadows, she finds refuge in the arms of the one man whispered about like a myth — Hades, the king of the underworld no one is meant to see.

He lives in the dark by choice. He has no interest in the games of the upper city. Until Persephone steps into his realm… and changes everything.

Their alliance begins as a bargain: power for freedom, revenge for safety.

But the heat between them ignites into something far more dangerous — a hunger that neither of them can walk away from.

And as their forbidden desire spirals, Hades learns one truth he never expected:
He will burn Olympus to the ground before he lets her go.

THE DARK OLYMPUS SERIES

1. Neon Gods (Hades x Persephone)

2. Electric Idol (Eros x Psyche)

3. Wicked Beauty (Achilles x Patroclus x Helen)

4. Radiant Sin (Apollo x Cassandra)

5. Cruel Seduction (Aphrodite x Hephaestus x Pandora)

Each book can be read as a standalone with a complete romance, but the series is interconnected and best enjoyed in order.

WHAT MAKES THIS RETELLING UNFORGETTABLE

Katee Robert takes the classic Hades and Persephone myth and sets it in a modern, cutthroat city where the gods are powerful families and Olympus is a glittering prison.

Persephone isn't kidnapped — she chooses Hades. She chooses freedom, power, and a man who sees her as an equal. Their chemistry is explosive, their banter is sharp, and their love story is as decadent as it is dangerous.
