Banished by her father Zeus for wielding forbidden primordial magic, Persephone has been living in exile.
Yet when the Veil between the realms of life & death begins to tear, she is summoned to the Underworld Court.
Behind its marble halls lies a kingdom of political intrigue, secret alliances, and whispered betrayals. No one can be fully trusted.
Least of all Hades, the Kingdom's ruler.
But as the Veil continues to force itself open, Persephone must decide: will she harness her strange power to save the kingdom, or let it fall into war?
This isn’t just a story you read. It’s a story you live.
Through letters, journals, and artefacts delivered to your doorstep, you’ll piece together a web of romance, betrayal, and magic. Each delivery brings you deeper into the intrigues of the Underworld Court.
No classics degree required:
Whether you know the myths or not, the world and its characters are fully immersive.
Familiar & original characters:
Walk beside Persephone, Hades, and Demeter, but also uncover secrets from new figures like Siran the Royal Spymaster and Archmagus Lymon, the Court’s Chief Mage.
Personalized ephemera:
Certain items, like the Prophecy Parchment, are tailored to each subscriber.
It’s a year-long tale of romance, fantasy, and high court intrigue, arriving in your hands, piece by piece.
Unfortunately not! The House you're assigned to upon subscription to The Dead Letters Society is permanent, however, if there's a specific House you want to be sorted into, please get in contact with me through thedeadletterssociety@gmail.com before your first delivery is set to arrive. I can't promise anything as the delivery may have already gone out, but if not, I have no problem with assigning you to a specific House of your choosing! Just please make sure to include some identifying information (if you're contacting me from an email which you did not use to make the subscription payment).
Yes, new stories will be created! I'll be choosing the genre & story based on customer feedback, and also through a newsletter survey I'll send out.
There are four Houses each subscriber gets sorted into once they subscribe to one of the stories from The Dead Letters Society. I based them on the four elements (fire, air, water, earth), and each one is aesthetically & symbolically unique. Depending on which House you're in, you will get unique collectible items, access to group chats, 'influencer' packages, cross-house events & missions that'll give each House points (the winner of which will unlock exclusive content). In the future, I'm also looking forward to organising 'influencer' events for each of the Houses, and even running stories which will depend on each House's actions.
Ephemera is anything 'discardable', things like tickets, menus, bookmarks, perfume papers... my goal was to make the story as immersive as possible, and as the project develops I'll reinvest into it to add even more things & experiences. Depending on which House you've been sorted in (which happens automatically once you subscribe), you will also get 'special' deliveries that the subscribers from other Houses won't.
Right now, I ship only to subscribers based in the EU and the UK, however, I will expand internationally soon. Make sure you join the newsletter below to get a notification for when it'll be available for you.
It's delivered completely through post! Once I receive confirmation of your subscription, your first letter batch will be prepared for you and sent. The letters are typically sent on Mondays and Wednesdays of every week. You'll get a confirmation email once your first delivery has been mailed, and you can expect it to arrive within 3-12 working days.
