Brodi Ashton writes young adult fantasy and romance, often drawing on mythology and afterlife stories. Everneath begins when Nikki Beckett returns from a supernatural underworld after being consumed by the Everliving Cole and discovers that only a short time remains before she is expected to return permanently. The series uses elements of the Persephone myth while focusing on Nikki's relationship with Jack, her family and the consequences of the bargain she made. Everbound and Evertrue continue the story across the human world and the Everneath. Ashton has also co-written humorous historical retellings including My Lady Jane with Cynthia Hand and Jodi Meadows, which takes a much lighter approach to English royal history. Everneath suits readers who want romantic paranormal fantasy with mythic underworld elements, while My Lady Jane represents the comic, collaborative side of her catalogue. Read more Less
