Persephone's Problem Samantha Blackwood

A wayward goddess with a problem lover, a treacherous Fae prince, and a surprise visit from long lost family nixes Alex's wish for a quiet life ... and propels her into a battle for the Fae throne that could destroy the realm.




Persephone knew her affair with the Fae prince wasn't a good idea, but she's a sucker for a handsome face and polite manners. Now, the prince wants to leverage her powerful magic to help him steal his father's throne. Her affair has angered Danu, goddess of the Fae, and that spells divine trouble. Persephone calls in a favor and leaves the brewing mess in Alex's lap.




At the same time, a trio of dangerous goddesses arrive at the San Antonio Crossroads for a surprise visit. Alex soon discovers the Fates are not her only long lost divine relatives--and that the magic she inherited from her father is vastly more dangerous than anyone suspected ... even the gods.




Alex must use every scrap of her abysmal diplomacy skills and new-found death magic to wrangle her crazy relatives, referee Persephone's divine dispute, and prevent a bloody war for the Fae throne before it spills over into the Crossroads and endangers her heart family ... and everyone else in its path.


This book is the second in The Crossroads Keeper series. Greek gods of myth and legend mingle with the supernatural creatures of urban fantasy in this modern tale filled with danger, humor, and family ties. It contains mature themes and includes swearing and some violence.
