Synopsis

Descent into Hell is a novel written by Charles Williams, an English author, poet, theologian, and member of the literary group known as the Inklings, which included notable figures like C.S. Lewis and J.R.R. Tolkien. The novel was first published in 1937 and is considered one of Williams' most significant works.

The novel is a unique blend of supernatural fiction, psychological drama, and theological exploration. It explores the idea of a spiritual and metaphysical realm that exists alongside our everyday reality. 

Charles Walter Stansby Williams (20 September 1886 – 15 May 1945) was a British poet, novelist, playwright, theologian and literary critic. Most of his life was spent in London, where he was born, but in 1939 he moved to Oxford with the university press for which he worked and was buried there following his early death.

    "Hello, my son is possessed," a man said on the phone to a Shaman.  
     "What proof do you have?" asked the Shaman. 
     "He is acting like a psychopath he is disrespectful and dangerous and he rambles about being an avenging angel." moaned a man in a lab coat and glasses. 
     "Has he spoken to a doctor he sounds like he needs a psychologist, not a Shaman," said the Shaman. 
     "His doctor thinks he needs to be convinced he's been exorcised to make him heal he is deluded," said Dr Blake Alexander his son's doctor. 
     "I can go through the exorcism as a placebo," said the Shaman. 
     "Thank you," said Dr Alexander. 
    How crazy can an exorcism get?

    A witch with no power captured by four vicious, possessive, sinfully hot gargoyles… 
    Not exactly the makings of a happy ending. 
    Yet here in the arms of New York’s most brutal monsters, I’ve never felt so safe. So cherished.  
    As we work to obliterate our enemies and solve the mysteries of my past—a past that very well holds the key to unlocking my lost magic and breaking their curse—my gargoyles and I have grown impossibly close. 
    But with every enemy destroyed and clue uncovered, through every searing kiss and filthy, forbidden touch, something dark is awakening inside me.  
    Something... hungry. 
    The gargoyles told me that committing violence takes something from you—and they would know. 
    But for me? I’m pretty sure it’s giving something back. Something I’ve been missing for far too long. 
    And now that I’ve gotten a taste, I’m afraid my nights of blood and vengeance are just beginning… 
    Wicked Awakening is the second book in the Claimed by Gargoyles series, a scorching hot reverse harem paranormal mafia romance featuring a feisty witch coming into her power and four fiercely possessive gargoyle gangsters with horns, tails, oh-so-sensitive wings, and special “equipment” guaranteed to leave their woman—and their readers—begging for more.
