The Dark Wife
The Dark Wife

Mythical retelling with lesbian romance.

If you're a fan of Greek mythology but crave fresh perspectives, "The Dark Wife" offers a beautifully reimagined tale. This book weaves a narrative that speaks of love, self-discovery, and empowerment, all from a unique view that flips the traditional myth on its head. The author's engrossing style and the poetic retelling of Persephone's story will captivate you, adding depth to a familiar story while introducing themes of freedom and identity. Whether or not you're well-versed in myths, this novel's heartfelt journey and strong feminist slant make it a rewarding read.

Note: While we do our best to ensure the accuracy of cover images, ISBNs may at times be reused for different editions of the same title which may hence appear as a different cover.

Description

Synopsis:
Three thousand years ago, a god told a lie. Now, only a goddess can tell the truth. Persephone has everything a daughter of Zeus could want--except for freedom. She lives on the green earth with her mother, Demeter, growing up beneath the ever-watchful eyes of the gods and goddesses on Mount Olympus. But when Persephone meets the enigmatic Hades, she experiences something new: choice. Zeus calls Hades "lord" of the dead as a joke. In truth, Hades is the goddess of the underworld, and no friend of Zeus. She offers Persephone sanctuary in her land of the dead, so the young goddess may escape her Olympian destiny. But Persephone finds more than freedom in the underworld. She finds love, and herself. The Dark Wife is a YA novel, a lesbian revisionist retelling of the Persephone and Hades myth. It won the 2012 Golden Crown Literary Award for Speculative Fiction.
