Welcome to the underworld. The world under Gaia and it's horrifying residents. Bateman is not a happy man. Not only is he forced to try and survive through caverns populated by rivers of lava, deadly birds, and giant spiders, but he has to contend with the mess he has made of his life. The woman he finds himself drawn to is also not happy. Ophelia is a historian, brought in for her expertise when it comes to the history of Gaia. The last thing she ever expected was to be fighting for her life, trapped within the bowels of Gaia. And yet, here she is. And there is Bateman, a man who she finds herself obsessed with, a man who clearly has some severe issues, a man she is determined to stay away from despite how much she is drawn to him.
