A scorchingly hot modern retelling of Eurydice and Orpheus and Charon. Eurydice Dimitriou has always been the innocent sister, but she's finally ready to step out of the long shadow cast by her powerful family...and the ex who shattered her heart. Perhaps rough hands on soft skin are exactly what she needs to forget her heartbreak once and for all? Charon Ariti has been Hades's right-hand man for years. He's given everything to the lower city, but now he's ready to take something for himself. He's only too happy to give Eurydice a special kind of education...but is her heart really free enough to be claimed? Orpheus Makos will do whatever it takes to make things right. Once the golden boy of the upper city, he's now a shadow of his former self. He'll do anything to get Eurydice back...even if it means she's not coming into his arms alone. Three hearts. Three futures. Countless ways to get it wrong. But with enemies slipping through Olympus's faltering barrier to lay siege on the lower city, a trio of broken hearts will be the least of these would-be lovers' worries...

Reimagining classical mythology and fairy tales with high-heat romance and dark fantasy elements has become a defining trend in modern genre fiction, led in large part by the wildly popular Dark Olympus series. Katee Robert (she/they) is a New York Times and USA Today bestselling author whose spicy romance and fantasy titles have sold over two million copies worldwide. Entertainment Weekly calls their writing “unspeakably hot,” reflecting a distinct blend of explicit romance, mythology, and intense emotional stakes that has gained massive traction across online reader communities.
Their extensive body of work spans contemporary romance, romantic suspense, dark fantasy, and paranormal romance. Robert lives in the Pacific Northwest with their husband, children, a cat who thinks he’s a dog, and two Great Danes who think they’re lap dogs.
Robert was inspired to begin writing in earnest during the height of popularity for Stephenie Meyer's Twilight series. Since publishing their first book in 2016, Robert has rapidly expanded their bibliography, building a dedicated audience through consistent releases across contemporary and fantasy subgenres. Their profile grew dramatically on social media, particularly on TikTok, where reader enthusiasm and viral word-of-mouth brought widespread attention to titles like Neon Gods A Scorchingly Hot Modern Retelling of Hades and Persephone.
Over the course of their career, Robert has published both independently and through traditional houses, engaging regularly with romance readers at book events and digital platforms. In addition to work published under their primary name, Robert also writes under the pseudonym Kat Taylor. Their catalog continues to expand across mythological retellings, dark mafia romance, and fantasy sagas such as Blood on the Tide.
Robert is known for a high-heat writing style that combines classical story structures with explicit sensuality and modern character dynamics. Mildly obsessed with fairy tales and retellings, Robert frequently reinterprets Greek mythology, classic legends, and fairy tale archetypes, transporting iconic figures into contemporary or dark fantasy settings filled with political intrigue.
Recurring themes in Robert's work include power negotiations, consent, polyamory, and queer romance representation. Their stories balance trope-driven romance conventions with character autonomy and guaranteed happy endings. Conversely, narratives written under the Kat Taylor pen name explore darker fiction without guaranteed happily-ever-afters.
