Hades & Persephone Like You’ve Never Seen Them
A fresh take on an age-old classic myth! RJ Kane might be new to the scene, but her work speaks for itself. With a fleshed-out heroine, witty dialogue, and a fresh use of tropes in a genre that is quickly feeling oversaturated, Rise of the King holds its own wonderfully.
Stepping out of the stereotypical paranormal mafia romance footprints, Sephie is a heroine who weaves light and hope back into life. She shows that, while trauma and sins may feel inescapable, redemption is always there when you need it. More importantly, she shows that you are worthy of that redemption.
Everyone has choices to make every single day, and your life is a result of those choices.
Sephie was a seemingly normal girl living a normal life, until she met the top boss in the city. In a few short hours, her life changed completely. She found herself marked by powerful men and under the protection of the most powerful of them all. She would soon learn that fate had much more in store for her and her new-found guardians than any of them could have dreamed.
Each one must find their place in the world to leave their mark on it, while striving to make it just a little brighter with each choice made. Rise of the King is a testament to survival as much as it is a story about the people placed in your life to help you along the way.
