Hellbound Series

In New Dis, Purgatory, there is no rest for the dead. Sprouting from the rim of Hell's depths, not even this bohemian city of the afterlife—full of mercantile enterprises, engineering innovations, and political intrigue—is immune to the tragedies filtering down into it as war and endless suffering rage on Earth above. WINNER: Pinnacle Book Achievement Award, Summer 2021 – Best Religious Fiction "...a superb work of religious fantasy fiction with plenty of interesting twists, steampunk stylings, and high-octane action moments to offer its readers. ...well planned, well plotted, and cinematically written...." ~ Readers' Favorite Book Reviews, K.C. Finn (5 STARS) Hephaestion, well-known from history as the general, confidant, and lover of Alexander the Great, has one goal: rescue Alexander from the torment of Hell. Yet far more souls bar his way than he'd ever anticipated, and Hephaestion, with the help of new friends and comrades, will have to use both brains and brawn against some of the underworld's most unsavory opponents. "The tension and action are exceptionally well done, weaving a fast pace into these intellectual and religious inspections... Fantasy readers looking for something different—say, Dante on steroids—will find everything they are looking for right up to the unexpected conclusion..." ~ Midwest Book Reviews, Diane Donavan (Sr. Reviewer) EVOLVED PUBLISHING PRESENTS a tale set in an industrialized Dante's Inferno with steampunk trappings, in the first book of the "Hellbound" series of religious sci-fi/fantasy adventures. "Fast-paced, action-packed, and weirdly entertaining... a cannon blast of a start to a series with a highly unique premise." ~ Readers' Favorite Book Reviews, Pikasho Deka (5 STARS) "The descriptions of hell and Hephaestion's journey to get to Alexander are incredible. Galaini pushes the senses of readers, gives them points of interest, and makes sure they stay with Hephaestion until the end." ~ Readers' Favorite Book Reviews, Rabia Tanveer (5 STARS)  

I know what you're thinking. But forget what you know about the Morningstar. This isn't a cute adaptation, this is my eternity, and being the half-demon daughter of a god isn't all it's cracked up to be. From privileged princess to weaponized demon hunter... it's time to prove I can fight my way home.   A princess of the Fire Realm isn't supposed to fall in love. I was promised to a son of the Cloud Realm to end a millennia's old war between the two. But fate had other plans for me. Now I'm being punished for my rebellion, and my banishment means an eternity on Terran cleaning up demonic messes until I hit my quota.   One thousand demonic souls banished back to the Fire Realm. That's the deal.   I'm almost there. I'm almost halfway home, and not a moment too soon. Three hundred years on Terran is starting to mess with my head. But hey, we all have our demons. ... I always get into trouble in Los Angeles, but there has to be a reason that I'm here. The only problem is, I can't decide whether it's the visions that have pulled me here... or something else. Kids go missing in this city all the time, but Alice is different, and I have to find out why.   The only reason I know this is different? Because there's a man on my doorstep with an LAPD badge asking for my help, and when Adam comes knocking, I can't say no. My immortal soulmate knows I will do anything for him, but that's how it as after centuries of being in love.   Where there's smoke there's fire, they say. And I can smell brimstone from a mile away. Los Angeles is rank with it, except there's only one demon I'm looking for, and I need to send it packing before it does some real damage. But first, I'm going to need more coffee. From author Saralin Cook, Dreams of the Dead is Book 1 in the ongoing Hellbound saga. Welcome to a world of magic, adventure, immortal love, mouthy (but loyal) cat sidekicks, and a kick-ass heroine saving the human world... one demon at a time.

Can vengeance against an ancient enemy wash away her centuries of shame? They come from the smoky depths of Hell's Pit. Remnants of the shattered Pious Legion, these hateful castoffs of Earth's Roman Empire, seek to conquer. Armed with maddening gas, Maximinus Thrax's airships swarm the skies like vengeful locusts, reducing entire populations to ash. For Boudica, the forgotten Queen of the Iceni, it's a familiar fate. Having failed against Nero on Earth, her civilization was wiped from history due to her backfired efforts of liberation. As Thrax's assault eliminates the peaceful enclaves of New Dis, what can the failed warrior queen do to protect her city, the innocent peoples within, and her beloved friends? Will Boudica shake off her anonymous refuge and crushing shame to face the Romans once more, or collapse into the dust of history once more? EVOLVED PUBLISHING PRESENTS a tale set in an industrialized Dante's Inferno with steampunk trappings, in the second book of the "Hellbound" series of religious sci-fi/fantasy adventures.

The dead never sleep, and neither does evil… A serial killer is stalking the streets of Seattle, one who, very boldly, claims to be the Angel of Death. I know exactly where Azrael is, and it's definitely not Seattle. This imposter claims to be killing demons with God himself as his employer.   Liar, liar, pants on hellfire.   I'm the only demon hunter on Terran, pal. And "God" is most definitely not speaking to you.   This killer has a lot to answer for, and it looks like I'll be heading north, with my immortal love Adam tagging along. It's his assignment, sure, but this kind of thing is really more my speed.   I don't know why I thought I'd be able to relax in California, plus, I'm sick of all this… sunshine. Getting out of California might get Aluta off my back, too. He's peeved that I'm 'wasting my time' on human souls when there are demons to kill. He's probably right, but if I'm wasting time, I'd rather do it with Adam by my side.   From author Saralin Cook, Deception of the Dead is Book 2 in the ongoing Hellbound saga.
