Lore Olympus: Volume One: The multi-award winning Sunday Times bestselling Webtoon series (Lore Olympus, 1)

Product Information

Persephone feels intense guilt over the official breakup between Hades and Minthe, she is struggling to find her footing in her fast-paced job, and—worst of all—the shades of her past are slowly coming to light. All of Olympus—and the Underworld—are talking about the God of the Dead and the sprightly daughter of Demeter. This edition of Smythe’s original Eisner-winning webcomic Lore Olympus brings Greek mythology into the modern age in a sharply perceptive and romantic graphic novel.
