A Touch of Malice – by Scarlett St. Clair
Book 3 in the Hades x Persephone Series

She is promised to the god of the dead.
But the gods are not done with her.

Persephone and Hades are engaged, yet the path to their union is anything but simple. Demeter, furious and vengeful, summons a devastating snowstorm that cripples New Greece—and refuses to relent unless her daughter calls off the engagement.

When the Olympians intervene, Persephone’s future is no longer hers to choose. The ancient gods are divided: allow her to marry Hades and risk war with Demeter… or forbid the union and stand against the God of the Dead himself.

Nothing is certain.
Everything is at stake.

In the midst of divine schemes, mortal danger, and the rising threat of war, Persephone must navigate a battlefield of gods, magic, and love—and confront the ultimate question: can her bond with Hades survive when the entire pantheon is set against them?
