   Summary

   You are the kindest thing that ever happened to me, even if that is not how our tale is told.
   When everyone else told me I was destined to be a forgotten nymph that nurtured flowers and turn meadows gold,
   you saw that the ichor that resides in me demanded its own throne. You showed me
   how a love like ours can turn even the darkest, coldest realm into the happiest of homes.
   -Nikita Gill

   When tragedy strikes Jackson, destroying their food stores, Maria and Joel travel to a neighboring community to negotiate for food. Little does Joel know, he will be leaving that meeting with a woman he met by chance on patrol a year earlier. Neither Joel nor Jackson, is prepared for Persephone.
