The feminist myths of Madeline Miller meet the #spice of Sarah J. Maas (with a hefty slice of Bridgerton's sexy, witty banter) in this fierce, fresh and enormously fun YA fantasy retelling from a growing TikTok superstar.
To hell with love, this goddess has other plans...
Thousands of years ago, the gods told a lie: how Persephone was a pawn in the politics of other gods. How Hades kidnapped Persephone to be his bride. How her mother, Demeter, was so distraught she caused the Earth to start dying.
The real story is much more interesting.
Persephone wasn't taken to hell: she jumped. There was no way she was going to be married off to some smug god more in love with himself than her.
Now all she has to do is convince the Underworld's annoyingly sexy, arrogant and frankly rude ruler, Hades, to fall in line with her plan. A plan that will shake Mount Olympus to its very core.
But consequences can be deadly, especially when you're already in hell . . .

"This Side of Paradise" was published in 1920. The novel explores
the lives and morality of post-World War I youth and the theme of
love corrupted by greed. "The Beautiful and the Damned" is about a
1920s socialite and his relationship with his wife, his service in
the army and his alcoholism. It explores the themes of love, money
and decadence. "The Great Gatsby" was first published in 1925 and
quickly became a classic novel. The Modern Library named it the
second best English-language novel of the 20th Century. Set in 1922
America is enjoying the roaring twenties, however Prohibition has
made alcohol an illegal substance and hence the bootleggers are
making a killing. "Tender Is the Night" is the final complete novel
that F. Scott Fitzgerald wrote, it was published in 1934. It
explores complex relationships and mental health issues, it is
quite dark at times.
The world-wide sales of polysiloxanes or silicones at the beginning
of this new millennium is approximately $10 billion per year.
Commercial products range from those entirely composed of silicone
to products where the silicone is a low level but key component.
This symposium covered the recent academic and technological
developments behind silicones and silicone-modified materials and
the sessions were well attended of wide interest to both the
academic and industrial communities. The papers from our two highly
successful symposia in this important area were published in the
books Silicones and Silicone-Modified Materials, (Eds. S. J.
Clarson, J. J. Fitzgerald, M. J. Owen and S. D. Smith), ACS
Symposium Series Vol. 729 / Oxford University Press, 2000, ISBN

HOW BAD DO YOU WANT IT? revisits some of the most extraordinary
moments from the history of endurance sports to show how mental
strength allows some athletes to perform at a level way beyond
their physical limits - to will their body to do what was
previously thought biologically impossible. Drawing on cutting-edge
scientific research it suggests concrete habits and tactics we can
use to cultivate our own mental strength, whilst providing
thrilling accounts of some of the most inspiring and astonishing
feats in sporting history. In 2010 Sammy Wanjiru entered the Boston
Marathon suffering from injuries to his knee and his lower back, a
stomach virus that prevented him from training and a lifestyle that
meant he spent more time in nightclubs than on the track. He
shouldn't have even been able to finish the race, and at times he
seemed as if he literally had nothing left to give, yet in an epic
battle he crossed the finishing line first. How did he manage it?
HOW BAD DO YOU WANT IT? describes a new 'psychobiological' model of
endurance performance connecting the mind, body and brain.
Compelling accounts from triathlon, cycling, running, rowing and
swimming are viewed through the lens of this model shedding new
light on what science has to say about mental fortitude in sports.
Featured athletes include: Sammy Wanjiru, Jenny Barringer, Greg
LeMond, Willie Stewart, Cadel Evans, Joseph Sullivan, Paula
Newby-Fraser, Ryan Vail, Thomas Voeckler, Ned Overend, Steve
Prefontaine
The second fierce, fresh and gloriously romantic YA Greek myth fantasy re-imagining from Bea Fitzgerald, Sunday Times bestselling author of Girl, Goddess, Queen. When Cassandra’s patron god, Apollo, offers her the gift of prophecy she seizes the opportunity. But when she fails to uphold her end of the bargain, she discovers just how very far she has to fall. No one believes her visions, which all seem to be of one girl – a girl who is going to start a war. Helen fled Sparta in pursuit of love – but is finding it elusive. Now she must navigate the fierce politics and danger of the Trojan court - including from its princess, who seems intent on driving her from the city. . . But when war finally strikes, Cassandra and Helen must deal with more than just the army at their walls. Cassandra and Helen's fates are more closely tied - and seemingly tragic - than they could have ever imagined. How can you change your future when the gods themselves are dictating your demise?
