Aïdes the Unseen

A Hades and Persephone Romantasy

De: Heather Long

Narrado por: Aria Holland, Will Thorne

A love lost to time. A truth buried in myth. A goddess reborn.

For centuries, the Lord of the Dead has searched for her—his queen, his soul's twin, scattered across mortal lives and fading memories. She is Irina now, unaware of who she was, haunted by dreams that aren't dreams, shadowed by gods who remember too much.

But something is waking.

Drawn together by fate, Irina and Graven—Aïdes, unseen ruler of the Underworld—find each other once more. But to reclaim her full self, Irina must walk through every life she's lived, every truth she was denied, and confront the oldest lie of all: that she was ever a girl stolen.

From the twisted corridors of memory to the roots of the olive tree where her name was buried, Irina will unearth the keys to her power, her past, and her future. But some gods will stop at nothing to keep her bound—and Aïdes will burn the world before letting her be taken again.

This time, she chooses.

A mythic love story woven through time and shadow, Aïdes the Unseen is a lyrical, devastating reclamation of self, agency, and love that endures beyond death.

Narrated in duet style.

I felt like I was living in the moment with these characters.

This is the first time I’ve read a Hades Persephone retelling. Having no idea what to expect, I was blown away. This was beautifully written. Part one covers the history of their meeting and beginning of their love story and Persephone’s disappearance. Part two is lifetimes later and we see how that love and devotion has led them to the present. The revelation of lies and deceit. The embracing of who they were meant to be. Again, it was a stunning read. And the narrators did an incredible job bringing these characters to life.

Wow - I loved this re-telling of one of my favorite love stories when I read it. But leave it to a one click author favorite like Heather to find me some new narrators to fall in love with. Aria Holland & Will Thorne do a fantastic job bringing these characters to life.

If you love the retelling of Hades and Persephone- then this is a must read/ listen. The love and appreciation for their story is amazing. Getting the past a time of Olympus and the gods and present timelines is fun & a different take to a very told story. I truly loved all of it.
