Her Dark Wings is a modern-day take on the Persephone myth, infused with the intense potency of teenage passions. The richness of Greek myth is vividly brought to life by the immediacy and originality of a fiery, contemporary drama. And iconic mythic figures crackle and change as a modern girl fills the Underworld with new life.

Exploring the thin line between love and hate, obsession and attraction, friendship and betrayal, this is a breathless and bold story, beautifully told by an exceptional writer. It’s about a girl who realises what she wants and, in getting it, brings soul to a stagnant world, and change to an unyielding god. It’s about life – and hope – blooming in the unlikeliest of places. It’s about being brave enough to release your wings.
