Hades: King of Longing
(2026)(The first book in the Gods of Obsidian series)
A novel by Kennedy Slope
She doesn’t remember me.
But I remember exactly how she sounds when she says my name.
And I’m going to hear it again.
Ophelia Marin thinks something is wrong with her.
Flowers bloom when she bleeds.
Power hums beneath her skin.
And every time I get too close—she reacts.
Breath hitching.
Pulse racing.
Like her body knows what her mind doesn’t.
Like it remembers the things I’ve done to her.
I am Hades, King of the Underworld.
And I have spent two thousand years craving a woman who no longer remembers she’s mine.
I made a deal with the Fates to keep her alive.
I paid the price without hesitation.
Now they’re ready to collect.
The cult hunting her is closing in.
Her power is awakening.
And every second I’m near her is a test of control I’m close to failing.
Because she looks at me like I’m a stranger.
But touches me like I’m not.
She doesn’t remember the way she used to give in to me.
The way she used to choose me.
The way she used to beg.
But she will.
And when she does—
I won’t stop at reclaiming what was mine.
I’ll make sure she never questions it again.
Let the gods come for her.
Let fate try to take her from me.
I’ll ruin anyone who touches her.
Because I didn’t wait two thousand years to be denied.
And this time—
I’m not letting her go.
Genre: Paranormal Romance
