Lore Olympus: Volume Five

Persephone's birthday brings a gift she did not expect: Hades admits that he wants her, and the two share their first kiss. It should be a happy turning point, but life in gossip-hungry Olympus does not let the young goddess of spring enjoy it for long. She feels deeply guilty about the end of Hades and Minthe's relationship, and she is still trying to keep pace with a demanding new job.

Then her past begins to catch up with her. A surprise meeting with Apollo sends Persephone running into the deepest reaches of the Underworld, and Hades, worried for her, sets out to find her. He cannot do it alone, so he joins forces with Artemis, Eros and Hera, an uneasy team that is racing against time.

The pressure comes from Zeus. The king of the gods has learned of the violent secret Persephone has been hiding, and in his fury he is determined to see her answer for it.

This fifth volume of Rachel Smythe's modern retelling of the Persephone and Hades myth gathers episodes 103 to 126 of the Webtoon series. The collected edition also includes behind-the-scenes material from the creator.
