By- Kaitlin Bevis

Blurb-
Life is hell for Persephone. Zeus will stop at nothing to gain access to the living realm and the Underworld, and as the only living god with a right to both, Persephone’s in trouble. Captured and tortured beyond the limits of her resolve, Persephone must find the power to stand against Zeus. But will she be strong enough?
Meanwhile, Hades contemplates desperate measures to rescue his queen. Persephone never thought of herself as dangerous, but there’s a reason gods never marry for love. A being with the power to destroy all of creation shouldn’t place more value in one individual than the rest of the planet. But Hades...Hades would break the world for her.
To save the world and stop both Hades and Zeus, Persephone must make a difficult choice. One that may cost her everything.

Daughter of the Earth and Sky Excerpt:
Daughter of the Earth and Sky Excerpt:
I'd been
here before. My bare feet glided over the leaf-strewn path, unharmed by the
rocks and twigs crunching beneath me. Massive live oaks draped with Spanish
moss created a canopy above me, transforming the forest path into a tunnel of
speckled sunlight. The air was heavy with humidity. The moist heat pressed
against my skin and stole the breath from my lungs. By the time I reached the
path’s end, my Eeyore nightshirt clung to my skin.
"Dungeoness."
I came to a halt when I recognized the sprawling ruins of the ancient
ivy-covered brick and stone manor.
Athens Academy
took my class on a week-long trip to Georgia's coastal islands freshmen year.
Cumberland Island was a major highlight because of the sea turtles, wild
horses, and these ruins.
"Good job, Persephone,”
I muttered, kicking at a branch. “You’ve figured out where you are, but how did
you get here?" I knelt to pick up a smooth, white stone, tucking damp
tendrils of hair behind my ears so I could see better. The rock looked and felt
real. I ran my hand over the smooth stone, turning it over and tracing the
shape. The weight of it in my hand reassured me.
I turned, hoping
the path held some answers, but it was no longer there. I stood on the
grass-covered shoreline looking out to sea. In the distance, a girl stood thigh
high in the ocean, clad in a gown of strategically placed sea foam. Although
her back was to me, I could tell she was perfect. The curly ringlets of hair
cascading down her flawless cream skin matched the intense orange of the sky as
the sun sank in the sea.
I glanced down at
my sun-kissed skin, self-conscious. She was really pretty. A movement caught my
attention and I glanced up as she looked over her shoulder, aquamarine eyes
meeting mine. Then she spoke. I was shocked to hear Boreas' cold voice roll off
her tongue. "Zeus lives."
I stumbled
backward. Boreas, the god of winter. My mind flashed back to that horrible day
in the clearing last winter. Boreas’ cold laughter. His fingers digging in my
hair as he pulled me across the frozen ground. Melissa’s eyes widening as she
choked on her last breath. The rush of power that gave me the strength to put
Death himself, and Boreas, under my control.
A soul for a
soul. I’d bargained with Thanatos, the god of death, and killed Boreas without
a second thought, saving my best friend.
Now images shoved
their way through my thoughts: Cumberland Island, two sunsets, lightning
cracking in the sky. My mind screamed against the onslaught. I gritted my teeth
and forced myself to think the word that would make it all stop.
I bolted up in
bed with a gasp. A weight in my hand made me look down. I unclenched my fist,
revealing the white stone from Dungeoness.
