Where Monsters Are Born: Volumen II: Hades

Before he became king of the dead, Hades was a son swallowed by his own father. In the darkness of Cronus's body, he learned that even gods can know fear, abandonment, and despair. Then came war, freedom, and the division of the world. Zeus received the sky. Poseidon, the sea. Hades was given what no one else wanted: the realm of the dead. There, among souls, monsters, and doors that should never be opened, he will build a kingdom-and become the figure mortals will learn to fear. But some wounds do not disappear when one gains power. They simply find new ways to survive. What happens when someone who was once a victim discovers that he, too, can become the one who inflicts the harm? Where Monsters Are Born: Volume II: Hades is a dark reimagining of Greek mythology told through the voice of the god of the Underworld: a story of trauma, power, isolation, violence, and the thin line between understanding a monster and justifying one. Because before the fear, before the power, and before the condemnation, there was a wound. And that is where monsters are born.
