Greek Mythology Romance · The House of Asphodel
The Ferryman's Hearth
She went down to pay her husband's fare. She came back for the ferryman.
A year ago Korinna's husband was buried without the coin under his tongue, and his shade still waits on the shore of the dead. So the potter's widow walks down the Stair carrying two coins: one for his crossing, and one for her own.
She pays his fare. She gives him her blessing to forget. And when the errand that carried her through a year of grief is done, she finds she does not want to climb back yet.
Charon asks nothing of anyone. He gives her his hearth, his table and a seat in his boat. He never asks her to stay. She is the one who chooses him.
But above, the year-turning rite falls due, and if she does not pour it, her husband's brother takes the kiln and the women who work it. Charon will not follow her up the Stair. Whether she comes down again is hers alone to decide.
A standalone Greek mythology romance: a silent god, a widow who chooses, open-door heat and a guaranteed HEA.
Perfect for fans of Scarlett St. Clair and Katee Robert.
