Receiver of Many
Receiver of Many | Rachel Alexander
8 posts | 8 read | 2 reading | 7 to read
Persephone's life has been one of leisure among the verdant fields: the maiden of flowers, sheltered by her mother, the Harvest Goddess Demeter. Now she is a woman, a goddess in her own right, yearning for freedom- even as the terms of an ancient pact are about to come due. Hades's life has been one of solitude in the somber land of the dead: for millennia he has served as the God of the Underworld, living without attachments, eternally governing the souls of mortals. But he dreams of the young goddess who was promised to be his wife, and knows it is time for his Kingdom to have a Queen. When Hades arrives to claim his betrothed, he finds a young goddess eager to unearth her divine potential- and a powerful mother unwilling to let go. Receiver of Many begins an erotic story of passion and possession, duty and desire, and a struggle that threatens both ancient Greece and the Realm of the Dead itself.

Alexander wrote a beautiful and almost lyrical tale around Hades and Persephone that was more like what I imagined than what was always presented. She did a great job of developing the characters and really making them her own while exploring the known myth. Hades is more than just a soul collector, she's turned him into flesh and blood with wants and needs which was so well done and believable as the story progresses that I'm all full of feels.⁠
