Aidoneus Okoni because of her special gift. The first of the book’s three storylines follows that of a woman named Deidra as she searches for her daughter Cora, who’s been taken by the rebel army of the warlord Dr. There are habitable sectors in between Day and Night - aptly-named Dawn and Dusk - where humans and krestge co-exist peacefully. Some of this depends on which sector of Eleusis a person lives as in as half the planet remains stuck in perpetual daytime and the other half in perpetual night. The krestge followed the remains of humanity with the promise of peace, and while some humans have accepted this truce of sorts, there are others who view them with suspicion.


The story unfolds on the planet Eleusis, where human refugees who had to flee Earth when aliens known as the krestge invaded and destroyed the planet, must now live alongside the aliens responsible for their plight. Author Jennifer Marie Brissett is the latest author to follow in those footsteps as her novel Destroyer of Light retells the Greek myth of Hades’ abduction of Persephone - but set years in the future on a whole new world, and split across three multiple perspectives. Science fiction has a rich tradition of blending the mythological with the speculative, creating whole new worlds and planets based on stories passed down through time with aspects shared across various cultures.
