Missing alive - in the land of the dead! One night Sefi, 14, hears the voice of Harry calling her to be his bride, his queen. Intoxicated, she rushes out into the dark streets to find him but where is he? Harry's voice is soon written off as a mental problem for which she needs treatment. Years later and without warning she is seized from an ordinary street and carried off to a drear and sunless land. This is Hades, Kingdom of the Dead, and now her home, for 'Harry' is the god of that place. Meanwhile Sefi's mum, Carla, is left desperate to find her, not knowing if she is dead or alive. Carla's search takes her to Greece, and to the gates of Hades itself, but when she gets there nothing is as she expects. The Greek myth of Persephone is set in the present day when the gods no longer walk among us - or do they?
