The Fallen

by erin.marie.emerick Ongoing

Synopsis

Hell is broken.

Not because of demons. Because the system itself has forgotten why it exists.  After surviving Heaven's rebellion, Hell has become something far worse than punishment—it has become bureaucracy, cruelty without purpose, and an eternal machine that devours everyone who enters it.

Astaroth has had enough.

Armed with impossible magic, ancient contracts, and an inconvenient tendency to solve problems by declaring war on reality, she begins dismantling the oldest institution in existence. Kings of Hell, forgotten gods, Leviathans, angels, monsters, humans, and cosmic horrors are all forced to choose a side as a single question echoes through creation:

What if the Devil was right?

But revolutions have consequences.

As Hell changes, Heaven watches. Humanity begins to awaken. Ancient beings buried beneath the oceans stir once more. And somewhere beyond the stars, something older than angels remembers the worlds that existed before this one.

The war for Hell was only the beginning.  The war for existence is next.


What to expect:

This story is an epic fantasy with mythological horror.  There is massive, cosmological worldbuilding spanning Hell, Earth, Heaven, and beyond.  This is a completed story releasing dail for the next year.  No, really.

If you enjoy stories like The Sandman, Paradise Lost, Good Omens, Malazan, or mythology reimagined on an epic scale, welcome to Hell.
