On my twentieth birthday, I had to choose a husband before all of Olympus. Everyone thought I would choose Apollo Olympion, the radiant heir of the sun god and the man I had loved for years. In my last life, I did. Because of me, he gained Zeus’s favor, sacred estates, and the right to rise above every divine heir. But after our marriage, he gave his sunlight to Celeste, the dying flower nymph my mother had taken in. When Demeter drove her away, Apollo blamed me. From then on, he hated me. He humiliated me, broke me, and finally let my sacred medicine become slow poison. I died carrying his child, on the night the spring inside me withered. When I opened my eyes again, I was back on my twentieth birthday. This time, I let them have each other. So before Zeus and every god in the Golden Hall, I chose Cassian Hadeion, the last blood of Hades. The cursed underworld prince everyone mocked. Apollo sneered. “Choosing him just to make me jealous?” I ignored him. Because in my last life, after I died, Cassian was the only one who avenged me. Then Apollo stepped closer and whispered, “Funny. That wasn’t who you chose last time.”

Apollo gripped the gate as if iron alone kept him from falling."I was your husband," he said. "In the last life, I mean. We were not always miserable. There were days when you smiled at me. There were nights when you waited for me. You cannot tell me none of it mattered.""It mattered," I said. "That was why it killed me."His eyes reddened. "I didn’t understand then. I thought you would always stay. I thought your love was part of the world, like sunrise.""So you stopped being grateful for it.""I was foolish. Cruel. I know that now. Tell Cassian to help me, and I will leave Olympus. I will never trouble you again."I stepped closer to the gate. "Do you remember the healer's hall?"He flinched."Do you remember replacing my medicine with poison because Celeste told you I wanted her dead? Do you remember hearing I was bleeding and choosing a banquet instead? Do you remember our child dying before taking one breath?"Apollo's hands slid down the bars. "Stop.""No. You wanted to talk.

Months passed, and Olympus changed its prayers quickly.The same courtiers who had called Cassian a shadow began sending him tribute in silver bowls. The brothers who once mocked his wings asked for places in his council. Cassian accepted the useful ones, refused the rest, and never wasted anger on men who had already revealed their worth.Cassian tasted every cup before I drank and changed half the guards around our chambers after I was pregnent."You are making the palace nervous," I told him one night.He rested his hand gently over my belly. "Good. Nervous people make fewer bold mistakes."Our child kicked. He looked so startled that I laughed for the first time that day."She knows your voice," I said."She has excellent judgment."Those small moments healed more than grand vows ever could. Apollo had once filled rooms with speeches and left me starving. Cassian remembered medicines, meals, closed windows, and which flowers made me tired. He learned which healers I trusted and whi

On the morning of my wedding, Cassian came to Demeter's gate before dawn.He wore black and silver instead of bridal white. The underworld horses waiting behind him breathed mist across the grass, and the carriage lanterns burned with blue flame.He offered his hand. "Ready?"In my last life, I rode to my wedding terrified that Apollo would change his mind. This time, I stepped into the carriage feeling steady.We had almost reached the marble bridge to Zeus's court when the horses stopped.Apollo stood in the road wearing a groom's white mantle and a sun crest that didn’t belong to him. His hair was unbound, his eyes bloodshot, and in his hand he held a narrow ceremonial blade.Cassian stepped down first. I caught his sleeve. "Let me speak. If you fight him here, every bard in Olympus will sing about it by noon.""Then let them sing that we faced trouble together." He took my hand and didn’t release it.Apollo saw our joined hands, and something in his face broke. "Persephone, come wi

Celeste was waiting in Demeter's garden when I returned.Moonlight silvered the glass roof, and the flowers around her had closed for the night. Without Apollo beside her, she looked less like a sacred blossom and more like a girl whose tricks had stopped working."You are cleverer than I thought," she said. "Choosing Cassian to provoke Apollo was bold."I walked past her. "Go to bed, Celeste."She followed. "Do you truly think the Hadeion can satisfy you? His blood smells of tombs, his wings are ruined, and Olympus will never love him. You will spend your life beside a shadow while Apollo still burns for me.""Then enjoy the heat."The garden doors flew open before she could answer. Apollo strode in with his laurel crown crooked and his ceremonial robe half-fastened, as if he had run from one end of Olympus to the other. Servants gathered at the edges of the hall.Celeste brightened at once. "Apollo, did you come for me? I knew you would not let them shame us."He pushed past her so h

The birthday feast began at sunset.Zeus had ordered the Great Hall of Olympus opened from the eagle gates to the star ceiling. Nectar flowed through crystal fountains, white horses of cloud circled the balconies, and every old house sent gifts heavy enough to make their loyalty clear. Apollo arriv

Apollo stared at me, all the color gone from his face. Then he leaned close enough that only I could hear him over the chaos of servants lifting the broken cups."Funny," he whispered. "That was not who you chose last time."For a moment, the terrace became as cold as the Underworld. Apollo remembe

The Moonfall Festival came three weeks later, and Zeus turned Olympus into a theater of light.The great terrace floated above the cloud sea. Bronze torches burned without smoke, musicians played beneath columns wrapped in laurel, and a tower of crystal cups rose beside the central fountain, each cu
