Lore Olympus: Volume Eight

Description

Scandalous gossip, wild parties, and forbidden love—the Greek tale of Hades and Persephone gets a romantic modern update in the gorgeously illustrated, Eisner Award-winning Lore Olympus, including a brand new bonus short story!

"You have no authority here.”

Revelations rock Olympus as Persephone’s trial ends, threatening to throw the gods into a
new war.

Though Persephone and Hades become closer than ever after she opens up to him about
all she has endured, their peace is shattered when another truth is revealed: Apollo is
Zeus’s son. The announcement shocks the pantheon, and the king of the gods realizes that
the would-be usurper wants Persephone’s power to take the throne.

Zeus banishes Persephone to the Mortal Realm and, out of fear, cuts it off entirely from
the rest of the gods. This decree succeeds in undercutting Apollo’s plan, but also
inadvertently begins a decade-long divine cold war when Hades strikes back by
shuttering the Underworld. With the gods scattered and weakened, Kronos uses the
ensuing bedlam to finally escape his imprisonment and begin staging his own coup.

Persephone has only one choice when she discovers all the realms on the verge of
collapse: Descend into the Underworld to try to defeat the power-hungry Titan, claim her
rightful place as queen, and reunite with her one true love.

graphic novel.
