What Happened Then on the Road to Hell…

Pandora’s Box

Madison has exhausted all routes to aid her son, Amos, who has been murdering the family pets and attacking her. Her last source of help arrives in the form of a cocky, yet attractive, Sherlock, Nix Birmingham, and his family. Although Madison’s husband walked out on her three years ago, he’s back now and he’s got a new face. He’s a King of Hell, on a mission to reclaim his family for Hell’s purpose.

Madison and Amos travel the United States, avoiding Micah and taking out demons one at a time, while learning about the supernatural world they’ve been plunged into. Along the way they add Zen to their list of allies, as well as Micah’s succubus daughter, Petra.

With a false supernatural lead, Micah captures Nix, Gage, and Zoe. After having Gage and Zoe killed, he reveals his trump card…Nix is the Ark of Heaven and can bring his family back to life. Micah will show him how to wield his power to save Gage and Zoe, but Nix must sacrifice his lineage to the King in a blood covenant and join him in Hell. With no other viable option, Nix accepts the terms.

Intent on saving Nix from Micah’s deal, Madison confronts them, but makes the mistake of thinking if she opens Pandora’s Box, she can use the power against her husband. Instead, the entity in the box ravages Madison from the inside out, determined to seek her own revenge. Zen comes to the rescue and leads Micah to believe he’s killed Madison in order to keep the King from ruling the world.

Hell’s Phoenix

Madison has a plan to save Nix from her husband’s control, and she’s going to do it by infiltrating Hell with Nix’s lucky charm—Alessa. Before she can get the other woman into the fiery realm with her, she must sell her soul to Madison.

On the Road to Hell, nothing ever goes as planned.

In Hell, Nix has become Micah’s lover and is enjoying his demonic side. Once they discover Madison is alive, they set a trap to lure her out of hiding. Again Zen saves her, but they send in Micah’s twin, Elias, to bring her to Hell.

The only chance Madison has of surviving Hell is to accept her demonic DNA. But she’s not the average succubus. She’s a Lynx, the most powerful of all the breeds and magic-hungry, too. After she goes demonic, she and her Lynx succubus kill the entity inside Pandora’s Box and claim the ancient power as their own.

Just barely managing to save Nix from Hell with the aid of dragons, Madison is left in Hell with a dragon blade that’s toxic to angels. Her mission is to kill her husband. But during their warfare, her heart isn’t in the fight. She does stab Micah in the chest—but only to save her son from his father’s plans for the future.

Confused by her sadness that she might’ve killed her husband, Madison returns to earth on the dragon’s arm. She wants to return to Hell where she feels at home, but knows she cannot, for her son’s welfare. Hours after returning to earth, Madison is pulled back to Hell by Micah, who survived her attempt at murder.

PART ONE

Ode to Beliel

An Angel fallen

Wings of blue

A tortured soul

Torn in two

His search is ended

A heart is stolen

An empty space

Now is swollen

Bound to Earth

A plan in place

He seeks redemption

For Heaven’s grace

She’s everything he

Hoped she’d be

Visions again of

The Royal We

But things are rarely

As they appear

Is there someone else

That he should fear

A delicate balance where

Trust must hinge

When veins run

Red for revenge

A Queen will rise

A house will fall

He contemplates

He makes his call

His need pushed to

The back of his head

One misstep

They’ll all be dead

By Shelley Bunnell

Prologue

Micah’s wife entered Hell like a racecar zooming on the Talladega 500. Screams and moans of agony heralded her arrival.

Naked. His wife was naked. A glorious sight, but from what activity had she been pulled?

Lamentations echoed through the cavern. Gooseflesh abraded her skin as if the atmosphere stung. From the shadows, Micah watched Madison as she coped with her disorientation by surveying her whereabouts.

His brothers greeted her.

“Raguel, at your service.” The black-haired brother spoke.

“I remember you.” The wide-eyed expression on her face suggested she was surprised to discover he was the one who’d presided over their marriage.
