"People die every day. Yet the folk only seem to care when people die at the hands of a villain or of a superior and darker power." ~ ~ ~ Heather Hawthorne enjoys her peaceful life as a medical herbalist in the city of Sedmion - Until one of her patient dies under inexplicable circumstances. Crops slowly begin to wilt, people grow ill and some descend into madness. Curious - and maybe a little reckless - Heather sneaks away to investigate the scene of the death, letting her indiscreet curiosity get the best of her. There, she crosses paths with Cassius Servodax, the second Prince of Delaryr, who's investigating the same case. Unfortunately for her, he's cold, arrogant and determined to make her life miserable. A sliver of Fate - and a series of poor decisions - land her with the Black Crest Company, a team tasked with finding the link between the illness and The Hollows - an ancient legend buried deep out of fear. However, always keep an eye on your surroundings. You never know what lurks within the shadows. ~ ~ ~ Total Scrivener Wordcount: 74,631 ~ ~ ~ Wonderful book cover by @-DeeIsDead- !!

BOOK 2 of the Running With Devils Series It's been three weeks since Coralynn Bennet was dragged down to Hell and it was nothing like how she imagined it. It was a kingdom of skyscrapers but no sky. Demons ran amok, but limited their bloodthirsty tendencies to what they called the Chain District. And she has been spoiled and pampered with gifts from the one they call the Morningstar. All of it was meaningless to her. Levi was still unconscious from his wounds leaving her in the care of Sam and Des, whose normally psychotic behaviors had been put on hold. And Malachi was missing. She wondered where he was and if he still hated her. When it's announced that there will be a masquerade held in Coralynn's honor to announce her reign as High Priestess, she begins to receive ominous notes that reveal a plot to kidnap and use her power of influence to manipulate Hells armies into waging a full scale attack on the mortal plane. Stopping a war wouldn't be the worst of it. Saving what was left of her fractured heart would.
