About the book: 2001 / Cassie's twin sister, Lissa, committed suicide and thereby doomed her immortal soul to eternal torment in fiery hell. Years later, Cassie found a path that allowed her to go to Hell to try and save her sister's soul. Cassie thought she knew everything about Hell from legends and ancient writings, but once there, she discovered that Hell, over the millennia of existence, has transformed from a fiery hell into a bustling metropolis, overpopulated with sinful souls with looming skyscrapers, systematized evil and endless cruelty .Hell is a city. It stretches literally into infinity, Hell is a labyrinth of smoke and a waking nightmare. Countless sewer grates spew flames rising from an ancient river that has raged beneath the city's streets for millennia. Clock towers rise in all parts of the cursed city, but there are no numbers on their dials; time here is not measured in seconds or hours, it is measured in cruelty and despair. At the center of this chaos of stone, smoke, carnage and horror stands the 666-story Mephisto Building, where gargoyles prowl the windswept ledges, and in whose highest attics the city's inhabitants are hanged and left to rot for centuries. The lone occupant of the topmost floor looks down upon his domain with a smile brighter than a thousand suns. Everyone here is dead, but everyone here lives forever. Welcome to Mephistopolis! Welcome to Hell City!
