Hellward [A Dark Fantasy Series]

What if Hell wasn’t such a terrible place to end up on a summer trip? Mina Hesper didn’t ask for adventures. She did not ask for the invitation that had arrived on a desolate platform in the pale face of the prickly demon Aleister and his companion, the swindler Zazel. But supernatural forces are notoriously difficult to argue with—the first lesson to learn. From the limbo-train that never stops spinning to the endless streets echoing Amsterdam’s nightlife, from the medieval-era docks to the bizarre woods where the damned roam free, Mina follows her guides on a journey that is as unpredictable as it is hazardous. Who would have thought that the Underworld is not just a place of horrors, but a vast land, beautiful and dangerous? A realm with its own laws and customs, where infernals coexist with the condemned. The shadow of her family’s buried past looms over Mina’s every step. No one should have to face a truth this wicked, but there is no escaping it. After all, the nether realm might very well be the true home she has been missing all along. What to expect from the series: - Occult lore, infernal adventures, underworlds across mythologies, time-swept witches, black magic, and one giant, talking owl - Found (but troubled) family, wholesome friendships, a dash of forbidden romance, and a protagonist who feels way too many feelings - An original, ongoing series crafted entirely by human hands and imagination. No AI tools—just pure, character-driven plotting - No LitRPG/ No game mechanics. The growth is realistic and tied to the narrative - Follow my Instagram (@anyaheksa) for book updates and special insights! The chapters will be posted every Monday and Thursday.
