Sam, the unchosen one, ventures to Hell to rescue his best friend.

Seventeen-year-old Sam Sullinger lives in the shadow of adolescence. Lost among his overachieving siblings and chided by his stern father, Sam finds himself the daily target of bullying. His only solace is his best friend and crush, Harper.

In a grand plan designed to help Sam confess his love to Harper, he sets off a series of events that lead to her being kidnapped to Hell. Racked with guilt, Sam makes a bold decision for the first time in his life: he’s going to rescue his only friend.

Sam is thrust into a vivid world fraught with demons, vicious beasts and a falling city. Every leg of his journey serves to remind him that he isn’t some brave knight on a quest — he’s an insecure teenager who is yearning to make his mark on at least one world.

Experience the beloved story of Snow White with an interesting twist. Kohle, a crown prince, is betrayed on the eve of his coming of age and forced to flee the wrath of an evil regent who will stop at nothing to destroy the rightful heir and take the throne. With the help of the beautiful Gwynn, he escapes the deadly plot and hides in the forest with seven female dwarfs who accept him as their new brother. But will the help of his new companions and a few loyal subjects be enough for Kohle to retake his rightful place in the kingdom?

This is Snow White meets Cinderella, with a pinch of the underworld! I love how the author uses the title of each chapter to give a synopsis of the chapter itself. Is it sheer coincidence that the opening paragraph for the Epilogue mimics that of Chapter 2? What is the significance? Hmmm!

Not everyone in your circle is your friend, but apparently no one told King Mallon that. A coup would have seemed more forthcoming, but certainly not this! What was to happen to his family, his kingdom? Was the attack an accident or was it premeditated?

The Duke of Blancio is a crafty fellow, with questionable motives. One is never quite sure what his next step will be. He moves with the speed and agility of a cheetah. He’s already settled in and doing his utmost to exclude the future heir from any and everything pertaining to the kingdom. He’s a liar, a thief, a conniving coward and a slithering snake all in one.
