Here at last is the eagerly awaited new novel from New York Times bestselling author Gail Godwin. Queen of the Underworld is sweeping and sultry literary fiction, featuring a memorable young heroine and engaging characters whose intimate dramas interconnect with hers. In the summer of 1959, as Castro clamps down on Cuba and its first wave of exiles flees to the States to wait out what they hope to be his short-lived reign, Emma Gant, fresh out of college, begins her career as a reporter. Her fierce ambition and belief in herself are set against the stories swirling around her, both at the newspaper office and in her downtown Miami hotel, which is filling up with refugees. Emma’s avid curiosity about life thrives amid the tropical charms and intrigues of Miami. While toiling at the news desk, she plans the fictional stories she will write in her spare time. She spends her nights getting to know the Cuban families in her hotel–and rendezvousing with her married lover, Paul Nightingale, owner of a private Miami Beach club. As Emma experiences the historical events enveloping the city, she trains her perceptive eye on the people surrounding her: a newfound Cuban friend who joins the covert anti-Castro training brigade, a gambling racketeer who poses a grave threat to Paul, and a former madam, still in her twenties, who becomes both Emma’s obsession and her alter ego. Emma’s life, like a complicated dance that keeps sweeping her off her balance, is suddenly filled with divided loyalties, shady dealings, romantic and professional setbacks, and, throughout, her adamant determination to avoid “usurpation” by others and remain the protagonist of her own quest.

Four immortal demon princes. One strong-willed human. A bewitched amulet that makes her Queen of the Underworld-and binds the five of them together. Sadie's world is crumbling beneath her, and she's starting to wish for a way out of her lonely life in Seattle. But when her sister Blair arrives unannounced in the middle of the night, covered in blood and carrying a glowing medallion, Sadie has no idea her wish is about to come true in the most violent of ways. All of hell is after the amulet's vast power. And when Blair puts it around Sadie's neck, all of hell is suddenly after her as well. Separated from Blair and with hardly any information to go on, Sadie finds herself surrounded by four stunning men-the warring demon brothers of the Underworld. The princes hate each other with a passion, and yet they're bound to her side, captivated and ensnared by her magic. In an instant, the amulet gives Sadie everything she ever wanted-wealth, power, even a fortress with a mind of its own. But she also inherits the amulet's enemies, and they're about to kick down her door. Sadie has no idea who she can trust-except for her men. As she spends time with each of the supernatural princes who won't leave her the hell alone, she falls for them. Hard. Though they can't stand each other, she can't imagine ruling her new kingdom without them all. But this is the Underworld, the land of monsters and warlocks, of angels and deadly treachery. The shadows of the Underworld hold secrets, and as her enemies close in on her new life, Sadie has to make a choice-surrender her newfound power, or stand as Queen and fight for the last remaining ounce of integrity and justice left in the Underworld. There are armies at the gate. Traitors in the fortress. Blood on the walls. Good thing Sadie is too damn stubborn to quit. Princes of the Underworld is a full-length novel.

Hades gets what she wants—always—and what she wants is a certain goddess of the springtime. Innocent Persephone chafes beneath her mother’s hawkish gaze and mercurial temper. Demeter has rebuffed all her daughter’s suitors, but she is not yet satisfied; she strives to crush Persephone’s spirit. Still, when Hades pulls her into the dark realm of the underworld, Persephone longs for the world above, even if it means an eternity under her mother’s thumb. With her tears and pleas for freedom ignored by pitiless Hades, Persephone must learn to satisfy her keeper in all ways, lest she suffer the consequences. And though she cannot deny that something blooms within her, something forbidden, Persephone despairs of ever feeling the sun upon her skin once more. No matter the cost, Hades intends to keep her.
