BOOK BLUB

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

Nina Varek thought death was the end. She was wrong.

Dragged into the fiery depths, she’s forced to compete as a Champion in The Cycle — a brutal contest where six ruling demons fight for Hell’s throne, and Nina is their pawn.

Each demon governs a domain forged from their sin: Fear, Temptation, Chaos, Misery, Torment, and Corruption. Each one is cruel, cunning and dangerously charming. And each one is willing to see her fail.

Victory could mean freedom and a chance to return to the brother she left behind. But the deeper Nina descends into Hell’s darkest corners, the more she begins to wonder if she’s playing the demons’ game, or if they’re playing hers.

Trusting the wrong demon could damn her forever. But trusting the right one . . . that might just cost her heart.
