In the garden of monsters / Crystal King.

King, Crystal, (author.).

Summary:

Julia Lombardi agrees to accompany artist Salvador Dalí to the Sacro Bosco, Italy's "Garden of Monsters," in Bomarzo. There, she is his muse, posing as the goddess Persephone for him. The garden is unsettling and as Dalí becomes more and more fanatic, Julia becomes drawn to their host, Ignazio, whom she finds both alluring and terrifying. Julia is soon on the verge of unraveling, and Dalí's persistence is so intense that she begins to wonder if she really is becoming Persephone, queen of the Underworld.
