The Underworld Saga was originally published in 2013-2015 under the pen name Tempest C. Avery, with the final book Unabated arriving much later in 2021 to complete the four-book series. Spencer’s deal with Hadrian (Hades) drives the story: one year of nights in the Underworld in exchange for her boyfriend’s life.

The series was one of Feener’s earliest published works, predating her Xenith Trilogy by several years. The mythology retelling, particularly the portrayal of Persephone as evil, set the tone for the morally complex character dynamics that would define her later dark romance catalog. Later editions were rereleased under her real name.

How does The Underworld Saga retell the Hades and Persephone myth?

Spencer, the protagonist, forces her way into the Greek Underworld and makes a deal with Hades (called Hadrian in the series): she will spend every night for a year in the Underworld in exchange for the resurrection of her boyfriend, who died three months earlier. The retelling includes a twist where Persephone is portrayed as a villain rather than a victim. The four books (Unhinged, Unleashed, Unbound, Unabated) follow the complications of Spencer’s bargain.
