Then she died and went to Hell-the classic Christian Hell, with fire and sulfur and devils, a place she never imagined might truly exist. Annie can't remember how she died or why she was sent there. But the systems governing Hell are starting to run down, giving her a chance to escape.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eJoining other \"shaken loose\" souls from different eras in search of an exit, Annie treks across volcanic deserts, flees marauders, and confronts an existentially depressed Satan.
