Story Behind The Book
The Dante family line has been in the fires of an ancient war between humanity and the nine circles of hell for generations. As a self-proclaimed "Aristocracy" the circles have now set their sights on the one who will now take her place amongst those before her standing in heated battle against them………Haven Irena Dante.
Haven is robbed of her innocence soon after her mother’s death and is left in the care of her ambitious and distant father who runs Dante Tech, the foremost manufacturer of military technology. Still reeling from the pain of unbearable loss, Haven is badly beaten and believed dead when she finds herself in an unearthly but beautiful place in the company of a mysterious young child who grants her the gifts and the choice to combat the Aristocracy.
Steeped rich in action and adventure, Haven pulls the reader into the realms of fantasy, history, and the supernatural all at once, where pain is a tool that when controlled can be your greatest ally or your prime stumbling block, and where generational wars are fought. Haven transcends historical bounds while the piercing grin that is behind every evil known to man shows its teeth and reminds the world that it is here to stay and nothing can stop its plans.
No one…except Haven.
But only if she can get past the pain that fuels her powers.
