HELL OF A WITCH is out today!

 

"Rachel Aaron is absolutely on fire in Hell of a Witch, the dark yet diabolically fun second instalment in the demon-infested and wonderfully witchy Tear Down Heaven series. It’s got more action, more intrigue, more (gardening) magic, more tension, more emotional gut punches, more banter, and more deliciously slow-burn romance; this is how you write one hell of a sequel." - Before We Go Blog

One month ago, Bex, the demon Queen of Wrath, and Adrian, witch of the Blackwood, pulled off the upset victory of the century. Now, they find themselves facing the question all unexpected champions must answer: what next? They’ve declared war on Heaven, but how do you actually bring down a divinely powerful tyrant when your army’s still in the single digits and your magical fortress is an illegally modified Winnebago?

It seems like a hopeless situation. As always, though, Adrian Blackwood has a plan, and this time, he’s going big. He’s got an idea to take down the Seattle Anchor, the giant magical fortress that houses the Anchor Market and every other bit of critical infrastructure that connects Heaven to Earth.

How the Anchors work is a closely guarded secret, and getting to the good stuff will require going deep into the heart of Gilgamesh’s power. There’s a reason even the Queen of Wrath has never attacked one directly, but now that Adrian’s on her team, Bex thinks they can do it. She’s finally got the power she needs to actually move the needle on this war, and she’s going to hit that Anchor with all the fire she’s got.

But the enemies of Heaven aren’t the only ones making plans. After the fiery return of his most persistent annoyance, Gilgamesh has ordered his princes to take care of the demon queen problem personally. It’s time to roll out the big guns and show these rebels what divine wrath really means, starting with the Hell of a Witch who made it all possible.

Available today in ebook, KU, print, and audio!

I know I always say this (because it's always true), but I am soooo excited for you to read this book! It's got everything a good sequel should--more action, more drama, higher stakes, crazier magic--all mixed together with a sweet love story in the middle of a war. I just love it SO MUCH. This book was a ton of fun to write and I know you're going to love it as much as I do!

Even better, it's available in all formats! Whatever story consumption method you prefer, I've got you covered. The audio edition is incredible as well, so I really hope you'll give it a listen. Nick acted the hell out of this one!

Book 3 is already written and will be coming out in March. I wanted to release it sooner because I legitimately cannot wait to show you where this story goes, but the holiday season blows a hole in all schedules. I do have good news, though! The Tear Down Heaven series will be 5 books total with the final 3 all scheduled to come out in 2025, which means we'll get to the exciting conclusion by this time next year! I hope you'll stick with me to the end of the journey, because it is going to be one hell of a ride. ðŸ˜Š 

As always, thank you so much for reading/listening. I could not do any of this without you. Thanks for the bottom of my heart, and I hope you enjoy HELL OF A WITCH!

Yours always,

Rachel Aaron
Lyricist for "The Ballad of Lys the Always Right"

HELL OF A WITCH is the second book in the Tear Down Heaven series. If you're new, start from the beginning with HELL FOR HIRE, I promise you won't be sorry!
