From the back cover

Persephone, goddess of spring and queen of the Underworld, watches her husband Hades give her birthday celebration, her mother's pomegranate brooch and her place at the family altar to Nympha, a flower spirit cursed to fade within six months. Their son Eren calls Nympha gentler and more beautiful than his own mother, and Hades offers to let her bless the boy like a second mother.

When Hades signs a marriage dissolution agreement without reading it, rushing to Nympha's sickbed, Persephone leaves the Underworld behind. Yet after her departure, Hades tears his realm apart searching for her, Eren cries himself sick for the mother he pushed away, and the dying woman they protected no longer seems so fragile.

A social feed post spreads through Olympus and the Underworld, claiming Hades has taken a flower spirit as his lover, and Nympha thanks him and Eren for gifts that were never hers to receive.

Inside the book Opening excerpt

My husband Hades gave another woman my birthday celebration.

Then he gave her my mother’s brooch.

Then he let our son call her home.

Nympha was the flower spirit who had grown up beside him. The healers said a curse was killing her, and she had only six months left before she disappeared forever.

Hades said he only wanted her final days to be free of regret.

So I was expected to be generous.

Even when our five-year-old son, Eren, curled up beside her at the hearth and whispered that she felt more like home than I did, I still told myself he was only a child.
