Girl, Goddess, Queen is a feminist, fierce and fresh YA fantasy retelling of the classic Greek myth of Hades and Persephone with a hefty dose of steamy romance. Fitzgerald’s reimagining shifts the power dynamic and repositions Persephone as a heroine with agency to control her own narrative, with extraordinarily fun results.

About
Girl, Goddess, Queen Synopsis
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. The real story is much more interesting.
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. But consequences can be deadly, especially when you're already in hell . . .
A fierce, fresh and enormously fun YA fantasy re-imagining from a growing TikTok superstar.

More About Bea Fitzgerald

Bea Fitzgerald says: “I have always loved mythology – I'll devour it in all its guises from ancient texts to podcasts to cartoon children’s films. But I'm particularly drawn to reimaginings, to stories that ask "what if" with the stories I love so much. Girl, Goddess, Queen is the Hades and Persephone myth as I wish it were: a fun, chaotic and steamy rom-com with a good measure of disrupting the patriarchy. Having my book become our book has been an incredible experience and I couldn't ask for a better team behind it than agent extraordinaire Hannah, editorial genius Naomi and everyone else at Penguin whose enthusiasm, passion and support have been boundless.”
