About this series
The Golden Mirage, the third book of the Underworld series, chronicles the journey of several men who did not know there is life after death. Far less did they have any idea how terrifying that afterlife is, a staple characteristic in Penn Fawn's dark fantasy novels.
What's new is the author introduces readers to the character Lilith, a name that will ring a bell for those familiar with Judaic mythology, while giving a much more thorough examination of a factor that eternally torments couples with a romantic or intimate interest in each other.
That factor is the chastity curse. A phenomenon unique to Fawn's hellish world of life after death, first mentioned in his debut novel, Necropolis.
The curse is one where couples discover any attempt to make love proves to be so exceedingly painful that it prompts them to abandon their amorous intent near instantaneously.
Enter the promiscuous and polyamorous Lilith, the renowned she-demon, or the first wife of Adam, who was banished from the Garden of Eden. Lilith is the only known individual with the power to nullify the effects of the chastity curse.
She is featured here as an extremely powerful witch queen, and ruler of The Haven, the utopian paradise many of the underworld's residents discovered was no myth.
But was it really a utopia? This is what the characters, including the good witch Hespatia, from the previous two books of the series, plus her peers, will find out.
With the underworld being a place filled with danger and hostility, collectively what they longed for, above all else, was to find a location where they could safely and comfortably live and thrive. No one was more aware of this than Lilith, thus she presented them with an offer they could hardly refuse.
In this tale of desire and deception, however, her offer was one where they found themselves being lured deeper and deeper into her enchanted realm. One in which her desire for ultimate power and domination knew no boundaries.

- The Fourth Tier: The Underworld Series, #1
1
The Fourth Tier is the first book of the Underworld series, a spin off from author Penn Fawn's Necropolis dark fantasy novels. For the deceased, the underworld represents a terrifying awakening. It is where men who believe after they die they will sleep in eternal peace go, as opposed to being in a state where they are forever at rest. The fourth tier is the deepest, darkest, most terrifying place in the afterlife where only the most unfortunate souls might be downcast. It is home to the master of sorcery and dark arts, the necromancer, and his alliance of beasts and the undead. This is precisely where our protagonist, Hespatia, and her peers who've fallen from grace find themselves. A desperate struggle to try and find a way out is their fare in this place filled with horror, and abound with curses and danger at every corner that the necromancer instills to keep all who try to escape in line.
- Gargoyles and the Goatlord: The Underworld Series, #2
2
In the second book of Penn Fawn's Underworld series, a spin off from his Necropolis novels easily readable as a standalone, mankind is featured from the perspective of gargoyles plus the goatlord, a half-man, half-goat, mythological creature. In the afterlife men are not the apex predator. They are not at the top of the food chain, nor do they have dominion over all other animals in this strange, ancient, and unforgiving place, they could not have imagined existed. They are the despised and hunted, what the winged mythical beasts, and those who have hooves as opposed to feet, call the scourge. As such, Hespatia, the witch protagonist, and her peers, find themselves facing a lack of compassion or mercy from creatures who believe the only good man is a dead one, when what the men desire above all else in the afterlife, is to find any place where they can safely live.
