We’re going to hell and not everyone will make it out alive.



Alex and Dawes are are determined to bring Darlington back from hell.  The problem is, they have to learn how to do so.  Enlisting the help of Turner, Tripp, and Mercy, the group figures out the riddle to the gate and makes the descent.

As expected, nothing goes according to plan and demons follow them back.  In a race to close the gate, the group finds them facing off against vampires and demons, while also trying to solve a murder.


In this wildly chaotic story, we delve deeper into the lives and pasts of Alex, Darlington, Dawes, Turner, Tripp, and Mercy.

Lauren Fortang and Michael David Axtell bring this story to life in a captivating way, leaving you wanting more. I’ve listened to both Ninth House and He’ll Bent on Audible, and I think it just adds to the experience.
