Black Hand

Infernal Regions for the Unprepared #1 / 6
by Maya Daniels
Black Hand (Infernal Regions for the Unprepared #1) by Maya Daniels
Unrated

I was their secret weapon. Now I’m their biggest problem.

You know that thing where you're created to be a supernatural killing machine, and then your employers murder the one person you’d actually die for?

Yeah. That was the last straw.

I used to work for the Syndicate. The Black Hand. The Council. Whatever name they’re using this decade to pretend they’re not the monsters they actually are. I was their secret weapon—the one who cleaned up their messes and made the problems disappear.
Until they made me the problem.
Now I’m on the run with a panther shifter who’d rather eat me than trust me, and a human who claims she’s a witch (she’s not wrong, and honestly, that’s the least weird thing about her). It’s not exactly a dream team, but we’ve got a shared enemy and some impressive bad decisions behind us. That’s enough.

The Syndicate want to erase me. I want to watch them burn.

Let’s see who gets there first.

Maya Daniels

Maya Daniels is a name that echoes through the world of supernatural suspense and urban fantasy, captivating readers with her unique blend of magical intrigue and snarky, unforgettable protagonists.

Before stepping into the realm of fiction, Maya spent years as an investigative journalist, an experience that lends her stories an undeniable realism. Her sharp eye for detail and her ability to uncover hidden truths make her narratives feel grounded, even when they are set in worlds filled with supernatural wonders. Her deep understanding of human nature and her fascination with the arcane and esoteric have led to books that explore the depths of both the magical and the mundane.

Born with an innate passion for storytelling, Maya penned her first poem at a young age, earning her first award at just eight years old for a piece about bees. That early recognition sparked a lifelong love of writing, and she hasn’t looked back since. Over the years, she’s traveled extensively, gathering stories from across Europe, Africa, Asia, Australia, and America. These travels have given her a unique perspective on the world, which she infuses into her writing, creating worlds that feel both familiar and foreign.

Now based in Ohio, Maya continues to hone her craft, drawing inspiration from her diverse experiences and her insatiable curiosity about the unknown. Her books often center around fierce heroines who are just as complex as the worlds they inhabit. Her works, which have made her a USA Today bestselling and multi-award-winning author, are a perfect blend of suspense, fantasy, and a touch of the mystical.

Maya Daniels is not just an author—she’s a storyteller who brings her readers into worlds they can lose themselves in, filled with magic, danger, and unexpected twists. Whether she's writing about powerful spells or unraveling complex mysteries, she crafts narratives that resonate with readers long after the last page is turned.

Infernal Regions for the Unprepared

In Infernal Regions for the Unprepared, the lines between magic and danger are drawn in jagged ink, where every decision could mean life or death. Set in a world where dark magic weaves through the air like a tangible force, this series takes readers on a journey into realms unknown—places where the unprepared will find their worst fears come to life. But for those daring enough to venture into these infernal domains, the promise of unimaginable power and forbidden knowledge awaits.

The story follows a group of reluctant heroes thrust into this chaotic world, each with their own secrets and pasts that threaten to tear them apart. But they must learn to navigate not only the terrifying landscapes of the infernal regions but also the treacherous alliances and deadly betrayals lurking just out of sight. With its intricate world-building, Infernal Regions for the Unprepared brings to life a universe where magic is as dangerous as it is intoxicating, and where every corner holds a new peril—or perhaps a new opportunity for those willing to risk everything.

What makes this series stand out isn’t just the high-stakes action or the intense, atmospheric world; it’s the complex characters that make every twist and turn in the plot feel personal. From reluctant heroes who have no business being part of this battle to those with a thirst for power that might just be their undoing, the characters in Infernal Regions for the Unprepared are as morally gray as the world they inhabit. Their journeys aren’t just about survival—they are about discovering the true cost of magic, and the sacrifices that must be made to wield it.

Perfect for fans of dark fantasy and high-stakes adventure, this series grabs you from the very first page and doesn’t let go. If you’ve ever wondered what it truly means to be unprepared, and what happens when you’re forced to face an infernal world without a map, then this is the journey for you. Every twist is unpredictable, every revelation is unexpected, and the atmosphere is rich with a sense of impending doom that will leave you eagerly turning pages long into the night.
