The Good Counselor

One who is twice woven, cannot remain your own.
Two the ether bound, who shines the torch in darkness.
Three the blessed harbinger who reaps the reaper’s heart.

Nearly a century has passed since The Fates foretold children for Hades and Persephone, but their efforts to conceive have been in vain. A secret rite on Samothrace conducted by the gifted hymnist Orpheus might finally bend the will of the Fates and give the King and Queen of the Underworld what they have long desired... or pave a path of unimaginable suffering.

Hades and Persephone’s sway over the mortals has only grown, drawing the covetous attention of the Olympian gods. When a hastily made oath, a silver lyre, and the returning restless dead put the gods below at odds with Olympus, it could shatter the peace that has existed between the realms since the Titanomachy.

The Good Counselor continues the erotic Underworld romance that began with Rachel Alexander’s highly-acclaimed novel, Receiver of Many.

Receiver of Many

Buy the Book

 

Persephone's life has been one of leisure among the verdant fields: the maiden of flowers, sheltered by her mother, the Harvest Goddess Demeter. Now she is a woman, a goddess in her own right, yearning for freedom— even as the terms of an ancient pact are about to come due.

Hades's life has been one of solitude in the somber land of the dead: the God of the Underworld, he lives without attachments, eternally governing the souls of mortals. But he dreams of the young goddess who was promised to be his wife, and knows it is time for his Kingdom to have a Queen.

When Hades arrives to claim his betrothed, he finds a young goddess eager to unearth her divine potential— and a powerful mother unwilling to let go. Receiver of Many begins an erotic story of passion and possession, duty and desire, and a struggle that threatens both ancient Greece and the Realm of the Dead itself.

Destroyer of Light

Buy the Book

 

The marriage of Hades and Persephone blossoms and their mysterious grove in the world below thrives…

…while the sunlit world withers.

Demeter holds out in Eleusis, pushing both mankind and the gods to frozen starvation in order to reclaim her daughter. The newly married rulers of the dead must reach an accord with Persephone’s mother to stay her deadly course— and come face to face with sacrifice, responsibility, and the balance of power among the gods.

Destroyer of Light continues the erotic romance begun in Receiver of Many: a battle of wills among the gods is writ large across the dying earth, a cruel sorcerer-king faces his trial, and the King and Queen of the Underworld realize a destiny that the Fates alone could have foreseen.
