In an act of desperation, the historian Aurora Payne sold her soul. Now, the Devil has collected his due. But Aurora soon finds that the real Hell is hardly anything like its theological descriptions.
Hell is not just a jail for sinners, it's a prison for the most destructive entity in the universe: the Horde. An ancient deity akin to a black hole, the Horde is the mother of all demons and nightmares. The Celestials constructed Hell over 8,000 years ago to be Its jail and have sent the humans there to be Its food. Forced into a cosmic order that treats humans as livestock, Aurora must choose between survival and keeping her soul intact.
Annunciation, Book 1 of the HORDE series, follows Aurora's descent into this infernal court of monstrous demons who all want a piece of her, and a Devil who's just realized he wants her most of all.
