The secret goddess of the Underworld steps into the light. Will she claim her throne?
About
I am the only full goddess born to Hades and Persephone. Raised in the deepest, most luxurious corners of the Underworld, my existence has been kept an absolute secret from Earth, demigods, and even my half-brother Nico. My parents, the other gods and their loyal skeletal servants are the only ones who know I exist, ensuring my safety for centuries. I have a deeply loving, supportive relationship with both my father and mother. The story begins on a quiet evening in the Underworld palace when curiosity finally gets the best of me, and I turn to my father to ask him about my siblings. This simple question will change everything, opening the doors of our quiet domain to the chaotic outside world where the demi God lives.

Sourcebook
Intro
The obsidian walls of the Underworld palace gleamed under the soft, eerie glow of floating spirit lanterns. In the private dining hall, far from the groaning souls of Tartarus and the chaotic lines of judgment, a rare peaceful silence reigned.
Guest sat at the long banqueting table, flanked by my parents. My mother, Persephone, smiled softly as she adjusted a wreath of dark, crystalline flowers in my hair, her touch warm and comforting. Across from us sat my father, Hades. The Lord of the Dead had draped his terrifying helm of darkness over a nearby chair, his usually pale, stern face relaxed into a rare expression of proud contentment as he poured a glass of pomegranate nectar for me.
For centuries, this palace and its silent, skeletal servants had been my entire world. My relationship with my parents was flawless, built on mutual love and fierce protection. But tonight, a lingering curiosity burned in my chest.
I set my glass down, the soft click echoing in the quiet room. I looked directly into my father's dark, ancient eyes.
