The first rule my mother taught me: never leave the farm.
Because the world is a dangerous place, and the most dangerous man in it will hurt me.
But I couldnāt stay forever, trapped and isolated.
I made the choice to leave. I crept out under the cover of darkness. I broke the rules.
And Hades was waiting for me, just like my mother said he would be.
He caught me in his arms and claimed me for his own.
He can keep me forever, but Iām going to take something, too:
His heart.
