Synopsis: Hell is divided into seven regions. The first region is designated for the purest of souls, the seventh is for the evilest. There was once a king of Hell, but the steward family has ruled for centuries.

Nora, the stepdaughter of the steward is undone when her mother and step-father take away her beloved tutor, Peter. When Nora confronts the steward and her mother, the discussion is heated and ends with the steward in inexplicable pain.

Shortly after, Nora finds herself in the Starry Wood. Peter told her of the perils within the forest, and it's not long before the inhabitants of the wood find her.

A giant hunter named Aegis comes to Nora's aid. He is drawn to Nora, compelled to protect her from the steward's assassins, the giants, and the evil souls who escape the seventh region.

Together, they travel the seven layers of Hell to discover why the steward is so threatened by a teenage girl.

Review: For the most part this book was pretty good. The character development was well done and I was really invested in Aegis. The world building was really good as well and the book was very intriguing.

Overall, I liked this book but the book does start out really slow and it has a lot of names and events that have to be kept up with.

Verdict: An interesting read.
