Lore Olympus Series

FIESTA, AMOR Y EGO. ¿Qué traman los dioses cuando se acerca la noche?
 
En el Olimpo y el Inframundo solo se habla de una cosa: la relación entre el dios de los muertos y la radiante hija de Deméter. Pero, a pesar de todos los rumores sobre su romance, Hades y Perséfone tienen la cabeza en otra parte.
 
Desde que llegó al Olimpo, Perséfone ha batallado con los niveles de perfección que se les exige a las Diosas de la Virginidad Eternas, y la atracción que siente por Hades no ha hecho más que poner en duda su posición entre el resto de los dioses.
 
Mientras Perséfone contempla su futuro, Hades vuelve a las antiguas dinámicas tóxicas de su pasado. Debido a esto y a la presión que ejerce el entorno de ambos, tanto Perséfone como Hades deciden negar sus deseos más profundos, pero la fuerza que los une es demasiado tentadora…, demasiado magnética. Algunos lo llaman destino.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

Witness what the gods do after dark in the third volume of a stylish and contemporary reimagining of one of the best-known stories in Greek mythology, featuring a brand-new, exclusive short story from creator Rachel Smythe.

“A refreshingly modern and surprisingly poignant take on the Hades and Persephone myth . . . steamy, often laugh-out-loud funny, and emotional.”—Jennifer L. Armentrout, #1 New York Times bestselling author of From Blood and Ash
 
All of Olympus—and the Underworld—are talking about the God of the Dead and the sprightly daughter of Demeter. But despite the rumors of their romance, Hades and Persephone have plenty to navigate on their own.
 
Since coming to Olympus, Persephone has struggled to be the perfect maiden goddess. Her attraction to Hades has only complicated the intense burden of the gods’ expectations. And after Apollo’s assault, Persephone fears she can no longer bury the intense feelings of hurt and love that she’s worked so hard to hide.
 
As Persephone contemplates her future, Hades struggles with his past, falling back into toxic habits in Minthe’s easy embrace. With all the mounting pressure and expectations—of their family, friends, and enemies—both Hades and Persephone tell themselves to deny their deepest desires, but the pull between them is too tempting, too magnetic. It’s fate.

Secretos, amores prohibidos, farras hasta el amanecer, WhatsApps cruzados, discotecas, amigos y enemigos… La mitología griega presentada como una novela romántica.

Llega en español el fenómeno #1 de WEBTOON.
 
Sé testigo de lo que los dioses hacen… después del atardecer. Las amistades y las mentiras, los chismes y las fiestas salvajes y, por supuesto, los amores prohibidos. Parece ser que los dioses no son muy diferentes a nosotros, especialmente cuando se meten en problemas. Esta historia súper adictiva y con mucho estilo es una de las mejores de la mitología, vista desde los ojos de Perséfone, como nunca la habías visto.

“It’s easy to see why the internet has fallen in love with Lore Olympus. This dazzling interpretation of the classic Greek myths is as charming as it is provocative.” —Marissa Meyer, #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Lunar Chronicles
 
Persephone was ready to start a new life when she left the mortal realm for Olympus. However, she quickly discovered the dark side of her glamorous new home—from the relatively minor gossip threatening her reputation to a realm-shattering violation of her safety by the conceited Apollo—and she’s struggling to find her footing in the fast-moving realm of the gods. Hades is also off-balance, fighting against his burgeoning feelings for the young goddess of spring while maintaining his lonely rule of the Underworld. As the pair are drawn ever closer, they must untangle the twisted webs of their past and present to build toward a new future.

#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • Scandalous gossip, wild parties, and forbidden love—witness what the gods do after dark in this stylish and contemporary reimagining of one of the best-known stories in Greek mythology, featuring a brand-new, exclusive short story from creator Rachel Smythe.

NAMED ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR BY NPR • “What Scott Pilgrim did for Canadian slackers, Lore Olympus does for the Greek pantheon, while being so beautiful that you know Aphrodite is just staring daggers in its direction.”—Kieron Gillen, co-creator of The Wicked + The Divine

Persephone, young goddess of spring, is new to Olympus. Her mother, Demeter, has raised her in the mortal realm, but after Persephone promises to train as a sacred virgin, she’s allowed to live in the fast-moving, glamorous world of the gods. When her roommate, Artemis, takes her to a party, her entire life changes: she ends up meeting Hades and feels an immediate spark with the charming yet misunderstood ruler of the Underworld. Now Persephone must navigate the confusing politics and relationships that rule Olympus, while also figuring out her own place—and her own power.

This edition of Smythe’s original Eisner-nominated webcomic Lore Olympus brings Greek mythology into the modern age in a sharply perceptive and romantic graphic novel.
