Persephone

The Junior Library Guild selected, magical reimagining of the classic Greek myth returns to print!
The Greek myth of Demeter and her daughter Persephone is reborn in a sprawling, high fantasy adventure inspired by the art style of Japanese anime and vintage, 1950s American comics. Despite being the adopted daughter of a magician, Persephone is just a normal girl, but that’s exactly the problem. So ordinary next to a literal force of nature. Driven by recurring nightmares as well as a budding curiosity, Persephone finds the secrets of her birth to be elusive and well-hidden by everyone around her. A journey to the Underworld will certainly bring the answers she seeks, but an epic adventure isn’t all that awaits her in the depths of Hades… Storyteller and illustrator Loïc Locatelli-Kournwsky (Flavor Girls) weaves a story of magic and intrigue in this stunningly rendered modern retelling of the Greek myth, enchanting fans of Miyazaki and Lore Olympus alike.

Loïc Locatelli-Kournwsky is a French artist and illustrator based out of Tokyo, Japan. He published original graphic novel Ni Dieu Ni Maitre with Lombard Editions, and is best known for his original graphic novels Pocahontas with Pegasus Books and Flavor Girls and Persephone with Archaia.
