‘Hell Bent Heaven Sent’ A Novel
Chapter One:
“Her eyes, naturally dark and exotic had been intensified beyond belief, and her features, already perfect in his eyes, subtly highlighted to enhance her loveliness, if that were at all possible. Her skin, now much darker, was offset by a deep crimson dress, a perfect foil for her long, painted nails and fingers adorned with jewels.

“No fortune teller’s attire can be complete without a tiara or some form of head adornment. Hers was no exception. With her hair left naturally long and curly, it was simply adorned by one forehead pendant that wrapped around her crown in a silver band, simplicity itself, and absolute perfection. In the far left corner of her cheek sat a tiny diamond, just enough to highlight her delicate bone structure.
