Underworld

By Katharine Kapodistria

Born a goddess. Raised a warrior. Destined to bring death and destruction.

For a hundred lives of men, Persef ni has lived in an idyllic valley in Arkad a, honing her hunting and combat skills in the company of her guardian, the immortal warrior nitos. Then her world is turned upside-down when D mitra arrives, laying claim to Persef ni as her daughter, and taking her back to the Court of limbos.

There, the gods and goddesses of legend seek to manipulate her, and her mother tries to control her. Persef ni pushes back against the horrors she witnesses, but she hasn't reckoned on the jealousy and vindictiveness of the gods, or how far they will go to take revenge.

Blending Greek mythology with the issues young women face today, Underworld explores how Persef ni came to be the Queen of the Dead, not despite all she suffered, but because of it.

This is Persef ni's story in her own words. Can she escape her fate? Does she even want to?

Content warning: This novel is set in ancient Greece, but it was inspired by the lived experience of being a young woman in today's society. It contains references to birth trauma, substance abuse, physical and emotional abuse, SA and suicide. Please read with caution.
