She lives in one of the most beautiful places, surrounded by flowers and beauty, as her mother is the goddess of nature. One day though, while Persephone is out exploring, she finds a man in little area she hadn't ever noticed before. If her mother knew about him, she would be furious! So Persephone keeps him a secret and keeps coming back to visit. Soon though, she has to make a hard decision when the man asks him to join him in the underworld to live and be his bride. Will she except? If she does, what will her Mother think? Will she be able to live in the underworld without missing earth to much? And will her decision affect the millions of other mortals on earth?

"Radian Darkness" was amazing. It was beautifully written and it made me want to keep reading it. I haven't read much Greek Mythology, but I really enjoyed this book. Despite the history in it, I was still able to understand what was going on throughout the story. Persephone's character was well developed. Sometimes though it might have seemed like Persephone was a little to gullible, but not enough to greatly affect the story in a bad way. Emily Whitman did a wonderful job on "Radiant Darkness" and I am looking forward to reading more of her works!
