If you were faced with the abominable decision to die or kill a loved one to survive, would you be the honorable sacrifice?

Hell’s Mercenary. The Urban Fantasy novel from the Intervening World Chronicles, by up and coming author Luke West.

Tobias is the Devil – the ruler of Hell. For years he has banished the souls of innocent humans only to compliment his ruling status, but slowly things are starting to change.

Fewer souls are struggling down the elevator ride eventuating at Hell’s reception desk, yet heaven is reporting an influx of angel’s climbing the staircase into the clouds.

Tobias begins questioning the rules with his sister and rivalry – Constance – the leader of heaven.

When his inquiries go unanswered, he entrusts his assistant Arliah with a mission she simply cannot refuse, yet reluctantly accepts.

Her uncanny nature and gothic philosophy only cause havoc among Hell’s people, and their eyes slowly open as they begin noticing her continual departures through Hell’s gates and presumably into the beauty of heaven.

What Arliah soon comprehends is that the gates of heaven are located at the other end of Earth.

Earth – A deserted world: a place of patience, hope and misery. The only escape is to win the game; your target – the humans with the leading bounties.

Will her black magic connections lead her to the gates of heaven – a world believed to be the light at the end of the tunnel? Or will her newfound supernatural powers carve the third strike against her signed contract?

Her mission – find heaven, and once she does, bring it to Hell.

Guest Post by Luke West:

I’d like to thank everyone for welcoming me into this group. I always appreciate your support for independent authors.

I have always wanted to take the whole concept of Hell and transform it into something extra. Sure, in my novel Hell has most of its traditional qualities, but it also contains a few things you wouldn’t expect: shopping centers, banks, schools, and a reception desk to check you in and out. All of which people can enjoy without needing a smile drawn in place on their face.

Do you like Supernatural creatures such as Witches, Angels and of course the Devil? I would like to welcome you to the world and characters of my novel Hell’s Mercenary, the first book from the Intervening World Chronicles. Take a look:

Tobias is the Devil – the ruler of Hell. For years he has banished the souls of innocent humans only to compliment his ruling status, but things have started to change.

Fewer souls are struggling down the elevator ride eventuating at Hell’s reception desk, and heaven is reporting an influx of those climbing the staircase into the clouds.

Tobias begins questioning the Laws with his sister and rivalry – Constance – the ruler of heaven.

When his inquiries go unanswered, he entrusts a young girl, Arliah, with a mission she simply cannot refuse, yet reluctantly accepts.

Her uncanny nature and gothic philosophy cause sheer havoc among Hell’s population, and their eyes slowly open as they begin noticing her continual departures through Hell’s gates and presumably into the beauty of heaven.

What Arliah figures out is that the gates of heaven are located at the other end of Earth.

Earth – A deserted world: a place of patience, hope and misery. The only escape is to win the game.

Your target – the humans who have the largest bounties.

Will her black magic connections lead her to the gates of heaven – a world believed to be the light at the end of the tunnel? Or will her newfound supernatural powers carve the third strike against her signed contract?

Her mission – find heaven, and when she does, bring it to Hell.

Arliah is a stubborn, badass gothic chick with an attitude you would gladly slap right off of her face. But underneath it all, she is sad, lonely, insecure, and confused. She will never show this side of herself, but the reader is ushered into her tortured mind.

This first novel will introduce you to the people, the worlds, and the different species. The farther we delve into this tale, the farther we will find ourselves caught up in a world we can’t – and find we don’t want to – escape from. Won’t you take this journey with me?

I always enjoy hearing from my fans and appreciate your feedback. What you love and what you hate; who you are; and what dark fantasies live in your mind?
