Grayson and Beatrice try to survive a rescue attempt of Beatrice’s father, Dan Lyte a world renowned scientist, but it goes from bad to hopeless. They find themselves at the Gates of Hell with no choice but to enter the devil’s abode. Traveling deep into the darkness of the inferno, Grayson and Beatrice are met with agonizing pain, unthinkable temptation, and unsurmountable confrontation. They know that they might not be strong enough to survive, yet despite a complete lack of hope, they refuse to give up.

Beatrice and Grayson made it home from their journey to the underworld, but they brought back more than they realized. Grayson struggles to find the normality that he so longed to return to, but hell’s taint left more than just scars on his body. Beatrice falls into another world when Grayson intervenes and tries to help her have a more social high school experience. It doesn’t take more than a few days back for Beatrice to find it ludicrous that ‘hell’ and ‘high school’ aren’t synonyms.

In the year that the English monarchy was abolished, the Prince of Wales's governor posed the poignant question: what was it that made kings different from their subjects? The answer to him was obvious, and the word that described it was ‘ceremony'. From crown wearing in the Middle Ages to the jubilees of modern times the English Monarchy has always used the rituals of majesty to command the affection and loyalty of its subjects. This important and original book is the first to examine properly the ceremonial world of an English sovereign. In an age when the king still healed the sick and took his meals in front of a crowd of spectators, a sovereign's ability to carry off this public role could be as important to his success as his command of the army or management of parliament. Charles II lived through the period of the greatest political change England has ever known, witnessing revolution, regicide and restoration. At just 16 he was cast into exile. A poor relation at the court of the young Louis XIV and then the creature of Philip IV of Spain, he knew what it was to wrestle for recognition. This was his apprenticeship. With The Restoration Charles brought the lessons of exile home. The country was soon rocked by plague and fire, and his brother's conversion to Catholicism would bring it once again to the brink of civil war. In the crisis that developed Charles used the rituals of royalty to help save the very institution of hereditary monarchy. Using a huge range of unpublished primary material, and painting a vivid and detailed picture of the daily life of one of England's most charismatic monarchs, Anna Keay's brilliant ‘ritual biography' radically reappraises Charles II as The Magnificent Monarch.
