Shadows of Innocence

August 24, 2025

Torch Lit Ink is celebrating this upcoming dark Greek mythology inspired romance from Vanessa Stock with a release blitz event!

šŸ“† Release Date:  October 25

This is Hades and Persephone’s story—but it’s not the love story you think you know. A serial killer haunts Aeolopolis, leaving behind a trail of bodies, and the past they tried to bury is clawing its way back. As secrets unravel and old wounds bleed fresh, the line between justice and vengeance blurs.

Some sins refuse to stay in the shadows.

š‘©š’š’–š’“š’ƒ: 

To the world, Hades is a myth wrapped in muscle and menace—the Olympus Syndicate’s ruthless enforcer. Feared like a curse. Obeyed like a god.

No one knows the truth.

He isn’t just a man.

He’s Death itself—the Grim Reaper stalking the city’s shadows, silencing monsters with a whisper and a blade.

But even Death carries a wound that never healed.

Until she walked back into his life.

For twenty years, Persephone has hidden behind silk smiles, trying to forget the devil who shattered her during college. But fate doesn’t forget. And one brutal night drags her back to the only man she ever truly hated…

And the only man who ever truly had her.

Their story never ended.

The monster never died.

And to survive, they’ll have to face the dark—together.

Because demons don’t stay buried.

Sins don’t wash clean.

Hell wasn’t just fire and shadows….
