Po tom, čo Liska s tragickými následkami nechtiac prebudí svoju vlastnú magickú silu, rozhodne sa ujsť do tajomného lesa a nájsť kvet papradia, ktorý jej môže splniť želanie.

To hell with love, this goddess has other plans... Thousands of years ago, the gods told a lie- how Persephone was a pawn in the politics of other gods. How Hades kidnapped Persephone to be his bride. How her mother, Demeter, was so distraught she caused the Earth to start dying. Well, it's time to set the record straight. Persephone wasn't taken to hell- she jumped. There was no way she was going to be married off to some smug god more in love with himself than her. Now all she has to do is convince the Underworld's annoyingly sexy, arrogant and frankly rude ruler, Hades, to fall in line with her plan. A plan that will shake Mount Olympus to its very core.
