NeTHer REgions: An Overview

NETHER REGIONS is a reinvention of sleek postwar thrillers featuring occult conspiracy and mystical espionage. Blending comedy and action, it’s a sexy gothic about lost souls, last chances, and loving the hell out of someone…

Sophia is fleeing Prague and an abusive relationship when she is yanked off a plane midair. She wakes up at a crime scene where a stolen manuscript and the mutilated corpse of her vicious ex make her a fugitive from Interpol. In the shadows of Bohemia, an infernal conflict has spilled over into the human world.

Suddenly linked to an Esoterrorist plot, Sophia is being hunted by covert agents, assassins that won’t stay dead, and a persistent poodle. She races to rescue a book that can unleash Pandæmonium to find the answers that everyone thinks she already knows. Her only hope is to summon supernatural help… a handsome Beast that answers to a Lower Power.

Can Sophia believe an inhuman being with a body built for crushing armies and a mouth made for telling lies? Will this pact free her from her maze of doubts and desire… or lead her deeper? Is her growing attraction to her personal dæmon her salvation or damnation?

NETHER REGIONS is a necromantic thriller about the strange forces hidden all around us, waiting to be noticed. Passion makes us into monsters. Trust is treacherous. Love is scary. Would you follow your heart to Hell?

NETHER REGIONS: Love comes from the damnedest places.
