All legends are born out of truth. All fairytales have slivers of facts buried in their history, and what today is known as merely myth and foolishness was once very real. But if you dig deep enough, all legends have a beginning; and while many tales are rooted in truth, there is one that's true story has all been but forgotten. In the beginning, legend tells us that Zeus, Poseidon, and Hades were brothers who overthrew the first gods, their Titan parents, and took the world for themselves. By drawing lots, Zeus, king of the gods, became ruler of the skies. Brave Poseidon drew the lot of the seas, but wicked Hades was tricked into drawing the lot of the Underworld where he became the most feared and hated of the gods. This is merely legend though. The truth... The truth is very different. Zeus and Poseidon were indeed brothers who overthrew their parents after their power lusting father Cronus began to hunt down his own children. They split the world as they saw fit: Zeus with the sky and Poseidon with the seas. The Underworld, though, ruled itself. Sealed off from the rest of the world, it was greatly feared... even by the gods.But as for Hades, the third brother of legend... in the beginning Hades was not even a god, but rather an immortal of Olympus. Once a mortal of earth, Hades had so pleased the gods that life among them was granted. On Mount Olympus, Hades' eternal youth was that of pure beauty said to have rivaled the beauty of Aphrodite herself. All were captivated by the splendor that was Hades, but Zeus most of all. For Zeus loved her. But the love of a fickle god can be cruel, and war will brew. For Hades is destined for a dark and terrible greatness.

Pomegranate

Autopsy of a Fairytale

"The first have come, and they seek the last." The Oracle Of Delphi prophesied those words in the dead of night, carving ancient runes into the temple's stone with her own blood, but she has no memory of her midnight trance. She knows not who spoke through her, yet one thing is certain. It was not an Olympian. Alkaios and the Olympians are at a loss, the Oracle's foretelling igniting unease in their holy ranks, but Hades finds herself drawn to those words, haunted by those words. This prophecy plagues her nightmares and consumes her mind, yet they just might hold the key to who Hades truly is... or herald an ancient terror that could destroy the earth and end the reign of the Olympians. The Evils of the Underworld are no match for what is coming. Pitchfork is the epic second installment of the Pomegranate series, a Greek Mythology reimagining with a gender-swapped Hades and Persephone. Perfect for fans of Madeline Miller, Sarah J. Maas, and The Witcher.
