This is basically a tale of Hades and Persephone, but not quite like you know it. The love that blossomed between Hades and Persephone was never a mere coincidence like Greek mythology suggests, there are ancient truths that were buried, lies that were praised, and connections that were severed, never again to see the light of day…

Until now.

Persephone, a sheltered, home schooled sweet little girl finally gets the chance to see the world beyond her mother’s reach and enrolls in the most prestigious university in all the three realms. Will she fulfill her mother’s wishes of working hard and graduating collage so she can take over the business? Or will her encounter with the king of the underworld completely throw her off track?

“Lord Hades! Lord Hades!”

“How many times have I told you not to scream in my office Thanatos?”

Thanatos stopped in front of the large black table and slipped a piece of paper across to the dark haired man who was smoking a cigar at the other end of it. “You need to see this.”

Hades picked up the paper and trailed his deep crimson eyes over each line, his brows knitting more and more as he read. “Is this a some kind of fluke?”

“I followed it up sir,” Thanatos responded. His voice indicated both excitement and nervousness, how could he not be? This had never happened before in the history of the underworld. “It’s not a fluke sir, someone actually applied to intern in the underworld.”

“Persephone….” Hades mumbled to himself as she gazed at the picture attached to the application letter. “What are you up to little dove?”

Underworld Intern

"Who is this?" Hephaestus asked the woman on the other end of the line. "Is this Persephone?"

"Do I sound like some overrated little goddess?" The woman responded spitefully, "this is Minthe, Hades' girlfriend, how can I help you?!"

Hades' girlfriend? But that was impossible, the only female Hephaestus' uncle had been glued on the last couple of months was Persephone, and he thought that by now, their relationship was even more solid than before.

Who the hell was Minthe? Wait... was she the woman who Hades had almost married a long time ago? That woman was a gold digging opportunist! Why in Tartarus would Hades want to get back with her?!

"Give the phone to my uncle," Hephaestus asked the woman, "it's a matter of utmost urgency, and privacy. I cannot discuss it with one of his little flings"
