The BookTok beloved Taking of Persephone series continues in Demeter, with more romance and myth from the point of view of the goddess of the harvest.   Demeter's life is a delicate balance, tending to her crops while raising her spirited and curious child Kore. She yearns for Kore to tread the path she has carefully laid, but fate and Kore herself have different plans, and mother and daughter soon find themselves at the cruel mercy of Zeus.   Just as Demeter is poised to reveal a life-shattering secret to Kore, she awakens to find that her beloved daughter has vanished.   Gripped by sorrow and anguish, Demeter embarks on her own quest to find Kore. For so long, the goddess of the harvest has kept to her tasks in the mortal world, kept her divine head down, and sheltered her daughter from the storms of Olympus. Can she face the past, disrupt her meticulously crafted existence, and venture into the chaos that threatens to consume the world?   Myth made her into a villain, but Demeter has her own story to tell.
