Blurb:
A love lost to time. A truth buried in myth. A
goddess reborn.
For centuries, the Lord of the Dead has searched for her—his
queen, his soul’s twin, scattered across mortal lives and fading memories. She
is Irina now, unaware of who she was, haunted by dreams that aren't dreams,
shadowed by gods who remember too much.
But something is waking.
Drawn together by fate, Irina and Graven—Aïdes, unseen ruler
of the Underworld—find each other once more. But to reclaim her full self,
Irina must walk through every life she’s lived, every truth she was denied, and
confront the oldest lie of all: that she was ever a girl stolen.
From the twisted corridors of memory to the roots of the olive
tree where her name was buried, Irina will unearth the keys to her power, her
past, and her future. But some gods will stop at nothing to keep her bound—and
Aïdes will burn the world before letting her be taken again.
This time, she chooses.
A mythic love story woven through time and shadow, Aïdes
the Unseen is a lyrical, devastating reclamation of self, agency, and
love that endures beyond death.
My review:
Aïdes the Unseen is a wonderful take
on the Hades and Persephone story. This thoughtful tale follows Persephone on a
journey through time as she struggles to find her way back to herself. Through
many lives she becomes more but throughout her love for Hades prevails. But
something is keeping them from being together. In her current life she finally feels
strong enough to find the truth. But the obstacles of the past are still in
play. Can she overcome and still choose love?
I ached for them and angered at the forces keeping them apart.
But it wasn’t in vain as lessons learned along the way are never wasted. I
truly enjoyed this saga.
