FIRE & FATE: A TALE OF HADES (DISNEY VILLAINS #10) ª|xHSLHQAy264857z

Age Level: 10+

Dimensions: 194 X 133 MM

Page Count: 304 PP

The tenth book in the New York Times best-selling Villains series takes a dive into the Underworld, exploring how Hades turned from god to villain.

The myth has been told for centuries: brothers Zeus, Poseidon and Hades waged a years-long war against their father Cronus and his tyrannical Titans. Upon their mighty victory, Zeus split the world into three. For himself, he claimed the Sky and what fell below it. To his brother Poseidon, he assigned dominion over the Sea. And his oldest brother, Hades, would rule the Underworld. While Hades tries to make the best of a lonely situation, eternity proves a long time to be forced to live in a role—a domain—he never wanted. And the part of the story no-one tells is that when your family treats you like a villain, it is far too easy to become one.

Years of being ignored and shamed by his family reach a fiery head when three perfectly alive witches find their way into the land of the dead. Bored and lonely, Hades befriends these mysterious Odd Sisters and makes a bargain that will change the course of fate. But when you’re a god, making a deal has the potential to rewrite more stories than just your own ...

SALES POINTS:

• Book 10 in Serena Valentino’s New York Times best-selling Villains series explores the background and life of Hades, king of the Underworld and villain of the movie Hercules.

• This eye-catching YA series builds an interconnected world between the iconic Disney Villains, from the Evil Queen to Jafar—readers can immerse themselves in the lives of their favourite baddies.

ARANA. It means spider—and it also means Anya Corazon. She was a normal Brooklyn teenager with normal Brooklyn teenager problems—until a few months ago when she was gifted with amazing spiderlike abilities, from super-strength and heightened agility to web-slinging. A powerful mentor guided her on how best to use these new powers for good—until Anya lost him, just as she lost her mother, just as she was about to lose everything she knows.

NUEVA YORK. It is the future of New York City, the home of the Spider-Man of 2099, and where Anya finds herself stranded, tossed across the century. And Nueva York’s Spider-Man, billionaire CEO Miguel O’Hara, is Arana’s only hope of getting home. But Arana and Spider-Man are about to discover that the enemies they face have dark and powerful connections to both heroes—and that this unlikely team across time will need to save much more than each other ...
