About this ebook
The Greek gods never actually existed. Did they? Sophie Darrow finds she was wrong about that assumption when she's pulled into the spirit realm, complete with an Underworld, on her first day at college. Adrian, the mysterious young man who brought her there, simply wants her to taste a pomegranate.
Soon, though she returns to her regular life, her mind begins exploding with dreams and memories of ancient times; of a love between two Greeks named Persephone and Hades. But lethal danger has always surrounded the immortals, and now that she's tainted with the Underworld's magic, that danger is drawing closer to Sophie.
Molly Ringle's growing list of other succesful titles include:
The Chrysomelia Stories
1. Persephone's Orchard
2. Underworld's Daughter
3. Immortal's Spring
The Goblins of Bellwater
All the Better Part of Me
Lava Red Feather Blue
Sage and King

I absolutely love this book! I've read so many Hades and Persephone inspired stories and this one is absolutely my favorite! I can't wait to read the other books in the series and learn how this story ends. Hopefully it will be a good ending or I'll probably spend the next few weeks crying over it.

OMG. I've always read books on Greek mythology in modern times, but Persephone's Orchard is hot, intense and gripping in many ways. Molly Ringle has created something so profound that my interest in Greek mythology has increased.

Nice retelling of an old myth. I just wish she would have given it a little more emotion.

About the author
Molly Ringle was one of the quiet, weird kids in school, and is now one of the quiet, weird writers of the world. She likes thinking up innovative romantic obstacles and mixing them with topics like Greek mythology, ghost stories, fairy tales, or regular-world scandalous gossip. She's into mild rainy climates, gardens, '80s new wave music, chocolate, tea, and perfume (or really anything that smells good). She has lived in the Pacific Northwest most of her life, aside from grad school in California and one work-abroad season in Edinburgh in the 1990s. Molly Ringle became fascinated with the colorful weirdness of the Greek myths when she was a kid, and after writing several other novels of love and the paranormal, she finally wrote the Persephone-and-Hades story that had been evolving in her head all those years. It turned into a three-book series, much to her own surprise (The Chrysomelia Stories). Molly currently lives in Seattle with her husband, kids, guinea pigs, corgi, and a lot of moss. Her growing list of successful titles include:
