BOOK BLUB

A lost soul in Hell. Six deadly infernal domains. One twisted game of power.

Dragged into Hell, Nina finds herself at the mercy of six ancient demons and a brutal competition known as The Cycle. Each demon rules a domain shaped by their sin: Fear, Temptation, Chaos, Misery, Corruption and Torment. Cruel, cunning, and dangerously charming, they’ll do everything they can to make Nina fail – and claim her soul.

To survive, she must outwit monsters, resist temptation and uncover buried truths. But in Hell, trusting the wrong demon could damn her forever. Trusting the right one? That might just cost her heart.

*To the Edge of Burning Shadows is book one in a Why Choose trilogy. It’s recommended for readers 18+ due to adult themes. The book ends on a cliffhanger.
