What an amazing story this is!! I love how it examines the ancient world against the backdrop of the newer one. Persephone's ending speech is fantastic.

Thanks so much Alicia! Really glad you liked it! I had a lot of fun with this one; this is one of those stories that started with just a vague concept and then starts fitting together neatly. Once I realised the reveal was going to be that ‘Hades is the last god left, but there's something even he fears’, I couldn't sleep until I'd written it!

Thanks for reading, as ever!

I thoroughly enjoyed this story. Truly inspired writing! It has many layers to it, I felt.
