A witch and an archdemon must work together to find a path through all Nine Circles of Hell in this steamy, dark fantasy romance from the viral TikTok author.?

The living do not belong here with the damned

An uneasy truce exists between the witches of Hollows Grove University and the archdemons who now walk among them.

Unlike her fellow Red witches, Margot Erotes has never embraced her true power to draw magic from her own sensuality and desire. Instead, her magic finds a release through music, weaving a spell that can bind anyone who hears it to her.

So when Beelzebub, Lord of Gluttony, comes upon Margot singing to herself in the University's courtyard, he instantly falls prey to her song - and doesn't hesitate to follow her when she is thrown through the gates to Hell.

Caught under Margot's spell, the archdemon is forbidden to her touch, and yet he is the only one she can trust to get her back to Hollow's Grove. They just have to make it through the Nine Circles of Hell first.

No matter what they lose along the way.

Harper L. Woods is the Sunday Times bestselling fantasy romance alter ego for Adelaide Forrest. Raised in small-town Vermont, her passion for reading was born during long winters spent with her face buried between the pages of a book. She began to pass the time by writing short stories that quickly turned into full-length fiction. Since that time, she has published over 15 books and has plans for many more. When she isn't writing, Harper can be found spending time with her two young kids, curled up with her dog, dreaming about travel to distant lands, or designing book covers she'll never have enough time to use.
