Scarlett St. Clair

Hades and Persephone retellings and beyond — contemporary mythology romantasy at the current commercial wave's heart.

Scarlett St. Clair's A Touch of Darkness and its sequels (the Hades and Persephone series) anchor her catalogue at the center of the current mythology-retelling romantasy wave. The King of Battle and Blood vampire-romance series and her other projects extend the range. The prose is propulsive, the romantic intensity is calibrated for the subgenre's standards, and the books deliver the modern romantasy contract reliably.

For adult readers. Content includes explicit sexual content, dark themes (Hades-and-Persephone material taken seriously rather than softened), and the high emotional intensity romantasy readers seek. The reading experience is engineered for the current wave: fast consumption, high investment, romance contract honored. Pick this shelf when you want mythology-romance retellings in the current commercial wave's register, with content levels that don't restrain themselves and emotional stakes turned up.
