Description

Before you reject me, before you hate me, remember: I never asked to be Hel’s queen.Meet Hel, teenager and Queen of the Dead. Daughter of a giantess and a god. Sister to Fenrir the wolf and Jormungand the snake.This is her testament.Hel never wanted to be queen, but being a normal teenager wasn’t an option either. Now she’s stuck ruling the underworld. For eternity. She doesn’t want your pity. But she does demand you listen. It’s only fair you hear her side of the story…It didn’t have to be like this.
