Scandalous rumors, wild parties, and forbidden love – the Greek tale of Hades and Persephone receives a romantic modern update in the beautifully illustrated, Eisner Award-winning Lore Olympus, including a brand new bonus short story!

"Whether blood of mine or not, if you proceed with this trial, I hope you are ready to live with the consequences."

The rifts between the realms are widening as the temporary refuge Persephone found in the Underworld is shattered. Apollo has captured Demeter and handed the fugitive goddess over to Zeus to win the king's favor. Persephone and her mother must now stand trial for concealing Persephone's unauthorized act of wrath – though the Spring Goddess feels secure with Hades by her side. But safety is not guaranteed in the world of the gods.

As the trial uncovers truths and betrayals that threaten everything – even the relationship between Hades and Persephone – the other gods face their own dangers. Eros discovers Ampelus' secret during a battle in the Mortal Realm. The budding relationship between Thanatos and Daphne is threatened by a vengeful Apollo. Minthe is trapped in her cursed form until Persephone gains full control over her powers. And Hera is haunted by the ghost of Kronos, whose influence in Olympus seems to be growing.

This edition of Smythe's original, Eisner Award-winning webcomic Lore Olympus features a brand new, exclusive short story by creator Rachel Smythe, bringing the Greek pantheon into modern times in a witty and romantic graphic novel. This volume collects episodes 153-179 of the number one WEBTOON comic Lore Olympus.
