Three thousand years ago, a god told a lie. Now, only a goddess can tell the truth.Persephone has everything a daughter of Zeus could want--except for freedom. She lives on the green earth with her mother, Demeter, growing up beneath the ever-watchful eyes of the gods and goddesses on Mount Olympus. But when Persephone meets the enigmatic Hades, she experiences something new: choice.
Zeus calls Hades "lord" of the dead as a joke. In truth, Hades is the goddess of the underworld, and no friend of Zeus. She offers Persephone sanctuary in her land of the dead, so the young goddess may escape her Olympian destiny.
But Persephone finds more than freedom in the underworld. She finds love, and herself.
The Dark Wife is a YA novel, a lesbian revisionist retelling of the Persephone and Hades myth.

Wow!
A hypnotic story which engrosses the reader to such an extent they don't even remember finishing their coffee. Exactly what happened to me. To be able to accomplish this feat in so few words was simply amazing. As a fellow writer, I bow my pen to you Sarah Diemer. Thank you for transporting me so completely to the other realm. Its been awhile since a story has consumed me so.
