Tales of the Five Hundred Kingdoms, Book 5.5
Mercedes Lackey
There is only one thing in the way of Persephone and Hades's love: her overprotective mother, Demeter. Kidnapping Persephone in order to free her from her mother’s wing should be an easy plan, but Hades soon learns that in the Five Hundred Kingdoms, nothing’s ever simple—and the wrong blonde goddess is stolen by mistake. Now, he must venture into the realm of the dead to get his bride back.
Originally published in the Harlequin Luna collection Harvest Moon, also available as a standalone or in the Five Hundred Kingdoms Collection Vol. 1.
