Helen Scott

Helen Scott builds contemporary fantasy romance around classical underworld mythology, a central protagonist, and a continuing supernatural cast. Daughter of Hades continues Cerberus as its middle volume, following Daughter of Persephone and preceding Queen of the Underworld. Google Books credits Scott, records it as Cerberus volume two, and records a Tantor Media edition. The StoryGraph independently lists the author, original 2018 publication, fantasy-romance classification, and independently published edition. Poppy begins the story far from her former Chicago life, facing the responsibilities attached to an underworld throne while searching for the judges needed to govern its souls. That plot expands the first volume's discovery story into a larger struggle over leadership and competing mythological powers. Scott's use of Cerberus, Persephone, Hades, and rival supernatural agents gives the trilogy a recognizable mythic framework while keeping Poppy's choices central. Daughter of Hades by Helen Scott therefore functions as a bridge between awakening and queenship within one continuous series arc.
