 Former charmer Aidon agrees to marry Persephone to silence village gossip. As she settles into married life, she’s drawn to his quiet kindness, even as rumors circulate about him. As she uncovers the truth behind the whispers, has she already given her heart to a man she hardly knows?

I love the fun characters and deep emotion of this debut novel. Loosely based on the Persephone myth, the plot is clever and engaging.  I enjoyed the audiobook narration.  I look forward to more from this author.

Thanks, NetGalley, for the ARC I received. This is my honest and voluntary review.
