Trampling in the Land of Woe

In New Dis, Purgatory, there is no rest for the dead. Sprouting from the rim of Hell's depths, not even this bohemian city of the afterlife-full of mercantile enterprises, engineering innovations, and political intrigue-is immune to the tragedies filtering down into it as war and endless suffering rage on Earth above.WINNER: Pinnacle Book Achievement Award, Summer 2021 - Best Religious Fiction

"...a superb work of religious fantasy fiction with plenty of interesting twists, steampunk stylings, and high-octane action moments to offer its readers. ...well planned, well plotted, and cinematically written...." ~ Readers' Favorite Book Reviews, K.C. Finn (5 STARS)
Hephaestion, well-known from history as the ¿¿¿¿¿¿¿general, confidant, and lover of Alexander the Great, has one goal: rescue Alexander from the torment of Hell. Yet far more souls bar his way than he'd ever anticipated, and Hephaestion, with the help of new friends and comrades, will have to use both brains and brawn against some of the underworld's most unsavory opponents.
"The tension and action are exceptionally well done, weaving a fast pace into these intellectual and religious inspections... Fantasy readers looking for something different-say, Dante on steroids-will find everything they are looking for right up to the unexpected conclusion..." ~ Midwest Book Reviews, Diane Donavan (Sr. Reviewer)
