Spring's Descent: A Sinful Seasons Novel

by R.L. Hemm C.L. Briar

4.1

In this dark and intense retelling of the Hades and Persephone myth, a powerful demon has spent years stalking his target. He finally catches the scent of his "little witch," dragging her from the world of the living into the depths of the Underworld. He intends to claim her as his eternal bride, but his captive is far from the terrified victim he expects. The protagonist faces a grim fate: her twenty-first birthday marks a sacrificial ritual intended to bolster the failing Earth Coven against a tide of deadly magic. While she initially views her abduction as a curse, she soon realizes that the shadows of the Underworld might be her only salvation. Caught in a dangerous game of survival, she discovers that her captor may hold the missing key to unlocking her own dormant power. Blending high-stakes fantasy with a possessive, enemies-to-lovers romance, this story reimagines classic mythology through a dark, modern lens. As the line between captor and savior blurs, the two must navigate a treacherous path to stop the destruction of their realms. It is a steamy, atmospheric journey perfect for readers who enjoy gothic atmosphere, fated bonds, and magical intrigue.

My little witch was always just out of reach. But tonight, I’d gotten her scent. She could run as fast and as far as she liked. It made no difference. I would find her. And when I did, I’d drag my little witch to The Underworld to be my bride. My queen. My goddess forever. I was powerless against his shadows, unable to do anything as the demon split the earth and The Realm of the Living fell away. He expected me to be terrified, but my life had already ended before he captured me. Death magic was ravaging our world, claiming hundreds of souls, and my twenty-first birthday was next month, the night when my life would be sacrificed to strengthen the weakening Earth Coven. I'd thought Hades was my damnation, but he might just hold the key to awakening my magic and saving us all.
