About the book

From the publisher

From New York Times bestselling author Harper L. Woods comes the next gripping chapter in the Coven of Bones series — a dark, emotionally charged descent into Hell itself.

He fell through the gate to Hell to save her life. Now Beelzebub, the Lord of Gluttony, is trapped — and he's not alone in his suffering.

Ever since he heard her singing, he has been under her spell. The magic of her song caught him completely off guard, and now he belongs to her in a way neither of them asked for or wanted.

The problem? A man bound by her magic is forbidden to touch her. The bigger problem? He's the only one she can trust.

To get back to Crystal Hollow, she has to navigate the Nine Circles of Hell — and she can't do it without him. That means traveling side by side with a man she can never get close to, through a place designed to break even the strongest souls.

Keeping her distance should be simple enough. If she stays guarded, they can both walk away from this with their freedom intact. But Hell has a way of stripping everything away — defenses, resolve, and the careful lines drawn between forbidden and inevitable.

Beelzebub is dangerous, powerful, and bound to her against his will. He is also, somehow, the steadiest thing in a realm built on chaos and suffering.

Every circle they cross brings new threats, new losses, and new reasons to depend on each other. The rules she set to protect them both grow harder to follow the deeper they go.

Some bonds form in the dark, in the places no one is supposed to survive. What they lose along the way may cost more than either of them bargained for.

"The Damned is a dark, emotional, and beautifully written continuation... A must-read for fans of dark romantasy, lush worldbuilding, and enemies-to-lovers stories filled with emotional intensity and heart." — Bad Boy Bookworm
