Meg Cabot, the number-one New York Times best-selling author of the Airhead novels, offers up this second exciting installment in her Abandon trilogy. In Underworld, John Hayden is holding 17-year-old Pierce Oliviera captive in the world between heaven and hell - supposedly to keep her safe from the vengeful Furies. But Furies aren’t the only danger in this ominous place. Somehow, Pierce has got to find a way to escape - before she’s trapped there forever.

Just when things were looking up for Than and Therese, everything crumbles. Eighteen-year-old Therese Mills has second thoughts about marrying Thanatos when she learns that no god has ever been faithful to his wife. But before she can move out of Than's rooms and into Hecate's, the Underworld is attacked, she and her friends are crushed, the souls are unleashed, and a malevolent goddess threatens to unhinge Mount Olympus.

Death has her in his grasp. And he’s gorgeous… Seventeen-year-old Pierce Oliviera isn’t dead. Not this time. But she’s been taken by John Hayden, Lord of the Underworld, to the place between heaven and hell where spirits gather before their final journey. John claims it’s to protect her from the Furies, who are hell-bent on vengeance against him. But could he have other reasons for keeping Pierce close?

When seventeen-year-old Therese Mills slips into a coma, she crosses into the realm between life and death—and meets Thanatos, the son of Hades and god of Death. One fearless kiss binds them together in a love that defies the laws of gods and mortals alike. But loving Death is only the beginning. To stay together, Therese must survive impossible trials set by Hades himself, outwit Olympian politics, and face the wrath of gods who refuse to accept a mortal among them. Immortality comes at a cost—and becoming a goddess may require sacrifices neither of them are prepared to make.

With Olympus fractured and Zeus growing increasingly dangerous, a new wave of heroes must rise. Hypnos steps into leadership. The twins Hermie and Hestie face a prophecy of their own. And as Prometheus resurfaces, the gods are forced to confront the consequences of past betrayals. But war among immortals is never simple.

Philip is a good boy, a really good boy, who accidentally gets sent to hell to become the devil's heir. The devil, Lucifer, is dying and desperately in need of a successor, but there's been a mistake, and Philip is the wrong boy. Lucifer has no other choice than to begin the difficult task of training Philip in the ways of evil. Philip is terrible at being bad, but when he falls in love with the she-devil Satina and experiences the powerful forces of love and jealousy, the task becomes much easier.

Hades was never meant to be happy. Condemned to rule the Underworld alone, he makes a dangerous bargain with the Fates—one that will change Olympus forever. Persephone was never meant to be caged. Smothered by Demeter’s fear and the suffocating politics of Mount Olympus, she longs for adventure, autonomy… and something more. When the two meet, the spark between them is undeniable. But freedom comes at a cost.

An attack shatters Hades’s kingdom, unleashing billions of souls onto the earth and leaving the gods reeling. The Titans strain against Tartarus. Medusa walks free. And a malevolent force long banished begins to gather power. In the chaos, Therese is crushed beneath the ruins of the Underworld—and her soul slips away. Now Thanatos must fight on two fronts: restoring balance to the realms of the living and the dead while racing to find the woman he cannot lose again.

Apollo has had a vision: as the life of each soul flashes before Charon’s eyes, the ferryman ages like an old man. Charon needs to experience his own adventures to become youthful again, or he will soon die. The last thing Charon expects is to fall in love with a mortal woman—someone he can’t take with him when he returns. Charon must decide whether to abandon the love of his life or his duties.

Seventeen-year-old Therese Mills survives the unthinkable After. a brutal attack leaves her parents dead and her heart barely beating, Therese slips into a coma—and crosses a boundary no living soul should cross. In the shadowed realm between life and death, she meets him. Thanatos. Beautiful. Dangerous. Eternal.

The pantheon is under attack. Earthquakes rip through Gaia. Ancient monsters rise from the Titan Pit. And Zeus demands loyalty at any cost. When Hypnos offers the king of the gods a dangerous bargain—he will uncover the source of the attacks in exchange for one immortal child with Jen—he sets forces in motion that could fracture Olympus forever. But Jen has her own mission.

With Olympus divided and Zeus’s authority cracking, a new threat rises from the depths. Poseidon’s trident has been stolen. Amphitrite has vanished. Ancient enemies gather their strength. And Therese is days away from giving birth. As prophecy tightens its grip around her unborn twins—children destined to restore faith in Mount Olympus—Therese must navigate betrayal, shifting alliances, and a battlefield that spans heaven, earth, and the Underworld.

Hermie and Hestie never wanted to be heroes. They never asked for prophecy, divine politics, or a Titan on the run. But when Zeus learns of Apollo’s vision—of the twins standing beside Prometheus—he takes drastic action. Thanatos and Therese are imprisoned on Mount Olympus, held as leverage. Now the twins have one choice: Find Prometheus before Zeus does.

Therese has done the impossible. She burned, rose from the ashes, and became a goddess to be with Thanatos. But the gods of Olympus do not forgive oath-breakers. When Than is condemned to suffer the savage punishment of the maenads, Therese is forced to take his place as Death itself—disintegrating across the world to escort souls to the Underworld.

With Persephone trapped inside Zeus and Morpheus forced into the role of spy, the gods are no longer divided by whispers and secret alliances. They are divided by war. Hades prepares to storm Olympus. Athena must choose between father and lover. Hermie and Hestie step fully into their destinies. And Zeus—desperate, paranoid, and losing control—tightens his grip on anyone he can still command. But war among immortals has consequences.

Therese Mills loves Thanatos, the god of Death. And he is determined to make her immortal. But the gods of Olympus have sworn she will never join them. Now Hades offers her a cruel bargain: Complete a series of impossible challenges designed to prove her worth — or lose Than forever. The trials are brutal. The stakes are divine. And the gods are not playing fair. To survive, Therese must face monsters, outwit Olympians, and risk everything — including her humanity. Because becoming a goddess means more than passing tests. It means deciding what she’s willing to sacrifice.

Therese and Thanatos should be planning vows. Instead, they’re planning a revolution. When Zeus announces that their wedding will be held on earth—surrounded by mortals who could easily become collateral damage—the gods are forced into a dangerous game of strategy and deception. Athena gathers her allies. Poseidon wavers. Apollo sees only one moment of victory—on the wedding day itself. To free Metis and end Zeus’s tyranny, the Alliance must strike when Olympus is most distracted. But binding the king of the gods will take more than courage. It will take sacrifice.
