Product Description

Product Description

In a world where Gods rule and Daemons are feared, Hades, the most notorious Phlegethon daemon-god to roam the ancient world, is released from his prison in Tartarus by the Olympian Zeus to aid in the war against the Titians.

Past shrouded in darkness, Persephone, daughter of the earth goddess Demeter, heals from the ordeal that stole her memories and the magic that is an integral part of who she once was. When she meets a stranger in the woods, her life is forever changed.

Betrayed by the Gods he once served, battle-weary Hades promised to never allow another god power over him, but he didn't plan on the intervention of the Fates intertwining his future with the stunning woman dancing in the moonlight, or the rise of his Phlegethon nature that demands he claim her as his own. Persephone has become the siren calling him, promising the completion of heart and soul, but only a fool accepts the gifts of a siren, or fight against the will of the Fates.

About the Author

Stephannie Beman has been a storyteller since the moment she first learned to speak, an avid reader since before she could really read, a writer since she penned her first story, and a daydreamer on a mission. For her, legends have always been alive, fairy tales have lessons to teach, love is eternal, and myths are survivors of bygone years. Stephannie, her husband, and two daughters presently live on a small ranch in Southwestern Wyoming in the original homestead cabin, surrounded by a forest, meadow land, mountains, and a river which only fuel her already fertile imagination. Welcome to her World!

5.0 out of 5 stars This book will amaze you! 30 Jan 2011
Format:Kindle Edition
I downloaded the sample to this on my kindle to begin with, after reading the sample I had to read more it`s worth the money this book is one that you will read over and over again and still won't ever be able to but down even if you know it word for word! if you enjoy reading about greek mythology and ancient gods atop mount olympus this book is for you but if you prefer more factual books on the subject keep on searching. One of the best books I have ever read it should be made into a film! Thank you for reading xx

4.0 out of 5 stars A New Twist on an Old Tale 29 Nov 2010
By Reena Jacobs - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Kindle Edition
Ms. Beman did a great job giving each of her characters a distinctive voice. Hades was burdened yet honorable. He was a break away from the gloomy Guses who are popular in many works today. Of all the characters, I'd say he was the most tenderhearted. Yet he was caring in a way which didn't detract from his masculinity.

Persephone reminded me of a butterfly or Snow White. Picture the scene where Snow White or any of the Disney Damsels who sing, dance, and just enjoy life. That was Persephone. I worried I'd grow tiresome of her frolicking, but as the plot unfolded, so did other facets of her personality. By the end of the story, there was definitely character growth.

Plot wise, Ms. Beman took liberties weaving this story. Much is the same, so that it had a Greek Mythology feel, but the few deviations here and there really added a flare. It kept me on my toes, since I wasn't sure how the storyline would differ from what I've read of Hades and Persephone in the past.

The characters were well-fleshed. The plot was interesting and fresh. Overall, I enjoyed it. Not bad for a debut novel.

3.0 out of 5 stars Enjoyed the story hated the editing!!! 21 Feb 2011
By Zenchild - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Kindle Edition
I have a thing for Greek Mythology so I figured I would give this a try. I wont review the story because others have done so - and well. It is a good plotline for easy reading. However - the eBook version was so poorly edited that it would jolt you from the reading experience. Wrong tenses, two phrases pushed together, very frustrating! I noticed the first one about 25% in but then the frequency became such that it was hard to go 5 pages without a confusing sentence. I have noticed this more often with eBooks and think it is a shame. The Kindle is a wonderful tool for an author, especially a beginning one, if used correctly.

4.0 out of 5 stars This is NOT your grandfather's Hades! 5 Dec 2010
By Amy Rose Davis - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Kindle Edition
In "My Lord Hades," debut novelist Stephannie Beman breathes fresh new life into a very old story. Her twists and additions to the myth of Hades and Persephone are imaginative, intricate, and rich. I started the book thinking I knew what would happen, but Beman surprised me several times.

Beman has a flair for descriptive language that isn't too flowery or "purple prose." She has an artistic vision that translates onto the page and gives layers to her setting. She uses setting to accent the growth of her characters as well -- fitting, since they are powerful beings with the ability to change setting.

I thought the novel started a bit slow as she drew the characters, but it picked up the pace fairly soon. She is clearly an author with a strong imagination and voice, and I have no doubt that her future work will show improvement in craft.

I look forward to reading more of Ms. Beman's work!
