Publisher Description
A love story. Set in hell.
The daughters of a god find themselves having to meet an obligation they didn't count on. They have been pledged to marry the Princes of Hell. Hell hath no fury like a goddess forced to marry a prince of the Underworld. The Kingdoms of Hell Saga is just starting.
Imagine this, you're the daughter of Alric, a god who quite unwisely lost a battle to the King of the Underworld. Now, the terms of agreement that your father has to yield to so that he isn't banished forever is to give your hand in marriage to one of the sons of the Underworld.
This is Irina's fate.
She and her six sisters—some are half-sisters, really, but who's counting, when parentage involves gods and mortals?—have been promised to the sons of Hell. Literally.
The one that Irina's promised to?
The sharp-tongued, brutally honest Ezra, the Prince of Envy, who loves creating drama among the mortals.
Irina has her own battles to deal with, the darker side of herself that's more like a father she doesn't want to emulate. A struggle she wishes she didn't have to face as often as she does.
How do you make nice with a Prince of Hell? You don't.
Until you see something about him that you like. Kind of. A little bit. Until you try to save his life from the darkness that threatens to consume it.
Beware: Unputdownable stories of love and redemption can be found in this series of swicked action-packed fantasy with gods, goddesses, demons, hellhounds, and all the accoutrement one expects to find in the Underworld.
Customer Reviews
Interesting…
There were some minor grammatical and spelling errors, sentences that didn’t quite make sense, throughout and there was a little confusion on what exactly was going on with the plot, but otherwise it was a good interesting read with a world I want to read more of.
There were somethings, secrets, mentioned but never really revealed. Ezra said he had many secrets but you never really ever found them out, except for the lost love part we eventually got an answer to that.
And then the villain was someone not even introduced until near the end. Sure he said he’s lost friends in the war but no one was specifically named until later which felt like a lack of foreshadowing on the author’s part.
But otherwise it was an interesting start to a story series that has sparked my interest.
