In the beginning was the Word – and the word Was a lie. A struggling writer dives into the dark pits of madness to create his most perfect work – a parallel of his own life, only twisted into a malignant hatred. When the written word opens a gateway to Hell, every truth the writer believes is challenged, every lie made truth. As a trail of death and sorrow spills from the words, the writer is drawn into an unholy abyss to become Hell's Muse.

In the beginning... was the lie The Nameless is back, only this time with a plan that might bring the walls of Hell crashing down. A young girl, sent into Hell to prevent an epic battle between good and evil, discovers a truth far darker than she’d ever imagined. Her only chance of survival lies in the wretched pens of Hell’s Muse. Should she fail, the war between Heaven and Hell will destroy humankind. Should she succeed, an eternal evil might still be unleashed.
