Seduce the man of your dreams as the goddess of nightmares! Will you honor the gods of Olympus or consolidate power and rule the Underworld?
Hearts in Hades: Divine Passion is an interactive fantasy romance novel by Lidia Molina Whyte. It's entirely text-based, 150,000 words, without graphics or sound effects, and fueled by the vast, unstoppable power of your imagination.
As the daughter of Hades and Persephone, you dwell in the Underworld as the goddess of nightmares, haunting mortals' sleep and maintaining the tenuous alliance between your realm and Olympus. The Fates have woven you a path to the Messengers' Council, where you work with Morpheus, god of dreams, and Hermes, leader of the Council.
Now, as rumors of an uprising by Giants begin to stir, and these ancient enemies attack, both Olympus and the Underworld will descend into brutal warfare.
Your parents are keen to strengthen the alliance between the realms by marrying you to Ares, Olympian god of war. Such a unified show of power might stop the slaughter before it starts. But is that what you want? And is that truly what is best for the gods?
Then again, perhaps this political match might be a love match after all. You and Ares were friends as children, and now he is a bronze-haired broad-shouldered vision of strength, rippling with muscles and encased in armor. Yet his warm hazel eyes and adorable dimples are the same, betraying his inner sweetness. How can the god of war give such tender kisses?
Or perhaps you wish to defy your parents' will? What about your counterpart Morpheus, god of dreams? Smug, silver-haired, infuriatingly handsome, he flits in and out of your life on iridescent wings, leaving honey-scented poppies and satisfied lovers quivering in his wake. He'd be delighted to dominate you in bed, but perhaps you'd prefer to take charge, deciding exactly when, how, and where he's allowed to come.
Or you could leave the gods and their games behind. There is one mortal who does not fear you, despite the nightmares that you have sent him: Theron, lord of Leukas. He has dark curls, sad eyes, a bittersweet smile; the clever rugged hands of an artisan and the easy power of a true ruler. Can you find true love under the mortal sun?
Play as a goddess romancing male gods and mortal men.
Romance the surprisingly sweet god of war, the smugly seductive god of dreams, or the charming mortal lord who doesn't fear you.
