A Mother's Nature is the second book in Monica Brillhart's award-winning The Rape of Persephone series. Based upon Homer's Hymn to Demeter, The Rape of Persephone trilogy brings the ancient gods down to earth, interweaving Greek mythology into a Bronze Age setting. Wife. Queen. Lover. Overnight, the girl called Kore is declared Persephone, child bride of Hades the Unseen. It is the life she thought she wanted. The life for which she evaded the gods and defied her mother. Zeus and Hades conspired to make it so, and Persephone cannot look back. Still, a mother's nature persists. As far as Demeter is concerned, Persephone has been taken against her will. To get her daughter back, Demeter will stop at nothing. She will even rally the gods.
