Every story that had ever begun, began with a decision: silly or serious, conscious or unconscious. And then, an action-which leads to situations, and more actions, then more decisions.
And as all stories go, this also began with one silly decision, by one very silly, nasty being (my bad, and my bias). By one being notable for having no fear or respect for any man. A being who had grown bored of his work, and wanted to try something new.
"If Christ had done it, I might be able to do it as well," he had thought. And then he had thought again... "That was Christ; I'm no Christ. I am bound by rules."
And then he had thought, harder this time... "What if..."
So he made a decision-trickery, lies, manipulation. He went against the princes of Hell: Beelzebub, and Lucifer himself...
And while that might have been unthoughtful, despite all the thinking, and thinking harder, it would have been nice if he had paid the price himself, and paid it in full. Unfortunately...
Stories are such that every story, which had ever begun, began with a decision and an action... and often than not, those entangled are not the ones who made that decision, nor took that action that birthed the situation. However, as the unwritten rule must have it, when they find themselves in that situation, they must make more decisions-and take more actions.
Hell Wants Her Back is a gripping, relentless thriller that entwines the fates of many-each an unwitting victim of one great, foolish plot, set in motion by one very sly being...
FULL BOOK ON KINDLE UNLIMITED!!!
In the elite Arclight Academy, where aspiring riders forge unbreakable bonds with mythical creatures to wield immense power, eighteen-year-old Serenya Vale arrives as an outcast. Plagued by a mysterious, life-draining illness that leaves her frail and fading, she enters on a rare scholarship-mocked as a "charity case" unlikely to survive the brutal trials ahead.
On her first day, a chilling encounter with the infamous third-year Kairen Draxen, a brooding dragon-bonded rider shrouded in living shadows, changes everything. When his darkness inadvertently brushes against her, it eases her constant pain for the first time in years, forging an inexplicable soulbond between them. Terrified yet drawn to the cold, emotionless boy who commands fear across the academy, Serenya discovers that his shadow magic recognizes something vital in her-a latent light that could heal or destroy them both.
As training intensifies for the deadly bonding trials in the perilous Wilderness, Serenya must navigate ruthless rivals, hidden conspiracies threatening the academy, and her growing forbidden connection to Draxen. Together, their opposing forces of shadow and light awaken a rare twilight magic powerful enough to reshape the world-but at the risk of consuming them entirely.
In a tale of resilience, forbidden romance, and the thin line between salvation and ruin, Serenya learns that true strength isn't found in health or power, but in embracing the darkness that binds her to life.
