    About this ebook

    No one begins life as a queen.

     

    Before she ascended to her throne as Lady Hel, the commanding Queen of Helheim and the revered deity of the afterlife, she was merely Hel—a remarkable daughter born of Loki and the formidable giantess, Angrboda. Yet, her path to royalty was anything but a fairy tale; it was a crucible of suffering, demanding unbreakable resilience and unwavering strength.

     

    In this enthralling prequel, immerse yourself in Hel's poignant transformation—a saga of heartache, determination, and indomitable spirit. Journey alongside her as she evolves from a simple daughter into the legendary queen she was destined to become.

     

    Patti, a Vine Voice reviewer, hails it as "an amazing short, offering a glimpse of Hel before her ascension. Wonderfully descriptive...."

     

    This is Book 0, the breathtaking prologue to the mesmerizing Hell Chronicles—a dark and captivating series that unravels the extraordinary day when the gods themselves altered her fate.

    Tina Glasneck

    TINA GLASNECK can't imagine a world without books. Her works have been classified in several genres, including mystery, suspense, fantasy and paranormal romance, and new adult.Yet for Tina, it is all about the characters and their journeys. An avid reader with a love of traveling, meeting new people and exploring her world, her interest in law, religion, history, fantasy, and dragons, made writing about it an “easy” choice. Give her a castle to enchant her, and tell her a funny story to make her snort with laughter, but please don’t serve her cake with red icing. Tina takes joy in beautiful architecture, lively cities and world travel. She enjoys creating make-believe worlds where she sometimes resides, and is often thinking about and tinkering on her next story. Sometimes she feels like a real life Cinderella, without the ashes or the fairy godmother; and, at other times, she is just a girl, looking for a chance to tell that next great story.

      Thank you, dear friend, for all that you do, for having the voice of reason, and always being willing to punch people in the throat (joking).

      Love and light always!

      Onward

      THE EARTH SHOOK UNDER the thunderous hooves of the gods and their majestic beasts. This battle would be the precursor of all things. Out of nothing—ex nihilo—the sides were predetermined.

      The gods, the Aesir, were clothed in layers of ornate gold armor led by Odin, Vile, and Ve; the three legendary brothers, who faced off against the Vanir as led by the cunning Njord, dressed in silver.  Ravens circled overhead, and the Valkyrie flanked the brothers on either side. This was an elite force, highly trained to bring down any realm, including one of
