Tartarus

Publisher Marketing: Zoe is dragged off by Clauneck; a demon she once considered a friend. And as she looks for a way to break free of his clutches, she is awestruck by the way Hell reveals its true nature to her. The way the world looks is not how she once saw it and now, more than ever, she wants desperately to escape. Now ruler of the underworld, Cole runs Hell with an architect's eye, changing everything about the landscape until its very appearance is unrecognizable. Gone are the torturous ways of the past. And with his beautiful bride Nina to keep him on his toes, he soon relaxes into a humdrum lifestyle. Nina quickly grows bored with life. She craves action. She craves adventure. But more than anything, she craves battle. And with the vast majority of Hell's denizens trapped in Tartarus, there's no enemy. Thus, Nina's days are filled with wonder and regret for what she lost and may never get back. After being born into the mortal world, Satan finds life to be more fun than he ever imagined. People are easy to manipulate and cater to his every whim. But, when he begins to have visions of what Hell looks like without his strength to keep everything running smoothly, he hatches a plan to sculpt Hell back into the gruesome, violent world that he once called home. Will the new tranquility of the world last? Will evil find a way back into Hell? Or is something more sinister already brewing beneath the surface. The 2nd book in the Escape From Hell series, "Tartarus" takes place directly after the end of book 1.
