Underground

by James L. Wilber

In the underground city of Necropolis, Hades is bound by duty, family, and his own alienation. That all changes when he meets Persephone, a true free spirit. Will their love tear apart the world above and below?

From the author of My Babylon comes a modern retelling of the Hades & Persephone myth. Underground is a story about the conflict between family and passion.

Along with stories from Stephan Michael Loy and Shade OfRoses, Underground is part of a Mid-World Christmas Collection. Find more great books by indie authors at midworldarts.com.

Thoth is the Egyptian god of writing, wisdom, and knowledge. Sometimes he is also referred to as a lunar deity and is often depicted wearing a lunar-like headdress.  He is the patron of scribes, and is honored as the inventor of the sciences, magic, art, astronomy, medicine, and law. He judges the dead by weighing their hearts on a feather that represented truth, and is known to be fair and impartial. He is identified as the son of Ra, representing his heart and tongue. 

My patron, my guide, my source of inspiration. He brings forth the word and the word creates all. Hail Thoth, wisest of the wise. Scribe of the gods. Thrice great magus.
