Daughter of Earth: A Roman Myth
Alone in a meadow one day, Proserpina is happily gathering flowers for her mother when she spies a blossom more beautiful than any she has ever seen. Moments later, she is gone--kidnapped by Pluto, lord of the Underworld, who wants to make her his bride. Sorrowing, Cres wanders her domain, searching for her lost child. At last, in a burst of wrath, she vows to turn the earth into a wasteland unless Proserpina is returned to her.
