Perdition's King
Saving Perdition, Book 0.5

Hades was raised to be king. He grew up in the castle in Perdition, expectations laid out. When a small demon girl showed up calling him “brother” he vowed to always protect her. Eventually the cost of keeping her safe became the lives of those in Perdition—and any kindness he might have had for them. Until Lilith is left for dead. And then a stranger stays to wait for help to arrive. And she might just be the key to him gaining back the love of his people.
When Persephone finally breaks free of her overbearing mother, she finds herself in the Underworld—somewhere her mother would never approve of her being. And after centuries of helping Jas run her bookshop and café, she’s caught the eye of the so-called horrible king. But you know what they say about judging a book by its cover. And soon, she feels the need to get away, to explore the world before returning to Perdition—because she knows she’ll never leave when she gets back.
