Determined to turn him against Persephone, she joins forces with Thetis and Thanatos to dig up damaging information about her. Meanwhile, Persephone is still being harassed by Apollo and, frightened that he will find her, she disappears into the Underworld. Hades is unable to locate her and calls on Hera, Artemis and Eros to help him. As more secrets about Persephone come to light, tensions among the gods escalate. Zeus, increasingly worried that his authority is slipping away, listens to the revelations brought to him by Thetis and Thanatos and decides to have both Persephone and her mother, Demeter, arrested. The volume is packed with revelations and intrigue, with Minthe\u2019s jealousy setting off a chain of events that threatens to destabilise the entire world of the gods.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>&#8220;- Here you go, pick anything you want.
