Synopsis

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLING SERIES • This mythic novel takes a dive into the Underworld and explores how a god turns into one of Disney’s most hot-headed villains: Hades.

Hades wanted nothing more than to escape the misery of his new life, but he took his responsibilities seriously…

The myth has been told for centuries: Brothers Zeus, Poseidon, and Hades waged a years-long war against their father Cronus and his tyrannical Titans. Upon their mighty victory, Zeus split the world into three. For himself, he claimed the Sky and what fell below it. To his brother Poseidon, he assigned dominion over the Sea. And his oldest brother, Hades, would rule the Underworld.

While Hades tries to make the best of a lonely situation, eternity proves a long time to be forced live in a role—a domain—he never wanted. And the part of the story no one tells is that when your family treats you like a villain, it is far too easy to become one.

Years of being ignored and shamed by his family reach a fiery head, when three perfectly alive witches find their way into the land of the dead. Bored and lonely, Hades befriends these mysterious Odd Sisters and makes a bargain that will change the course of fate. But when you’re a god, making a deal has the potential to rewrite more stories than just your own . . .

I have so many thoughts on this one but I need time to process and discuss with the book club! I LOVE how much this recapped the entire series and provided so many answers to most of the other fairytales that were left with questions. Another masterpiece by the one and only Serena Valentino!......more

I was so excited about the concept of this series but I ended up being highly disappointed. Now that I’ve finished the series, I can’t shake the feeling that this is just published fan fiction. I think this series would’ve been better if each book could’ve been a stand alone rather than the inclusio......more

From Captain Hook to Hades, John York has done an incredible job narrating Fire and Fate. Serena Valentino once again has hit the nail on the head with this one. She tightened some loose ends from previous events and open new possibilities for others. Fire and Fate takes place in Mistress of All Evil......more

This is the first book in the series that disappointed me. I wanted more of Hades before he was ruler of the Underworld. I'm so over the Odd Sisters.......more

I hate who I’ve become. I don’t even recognize myself anymore. زیاد دوستش نداشتم. دوست داشتم یکم از مگ و گذشته‌اش بگه مثلا. ولی داستان نصفش درباره خواهران جادوگر بود. میشه گفت بیشتر داستان این جلد همزمان با جلد ۴ و ۵ یعنی مالفیسنت و گوتهل بود. هادس کارکتر باحالی بود و چقدر تنها☹️ آرزوش این بود که کسی......more
