The Kollective Series
Book One - Kali's Crucible
Kali never knew she was just one piece of a shattered whole—one of 333 fragments of a single being, scattered across time by a desperate, ancient spell. Her life was ordinary until she was violently torn from the present and thrust into a different life—a world where history and hellish nightmares collide.
Thrown into the depths of Hell itself, Kali finds herself in a realm of endless torment, where demons reign and survival is a brutal, blood-soaked struggle. Untrained and alone, she soon discovers she is not the only one of her kind trapped in this infernal domain. A powerful ruler, one of the fractured souls like her, has already claimed dominion over Hell. But Kali has something none of the others possess: a sentient katana named Tamashii.
Tamashii is no ordinary weapon—it is alive, whispering to Kali, seducing her with the promise of unimaginable power, but at a steep cost. Every demon in Hell can sense its presence, and they are drawn to it like moths to a flame. With predators closing in from all sides, Kali must learn to wield Tamashii's dark power before it consumes her.
In the shadows, Kali finds an unlikely companion in Mikt, a cunning and unpredictable imp whose true motives remain a mystery. Together, they navigate the treacherous landscape of Hell, where trust is a luxury and betrayal is the norm. As Kali battles for her life, she must decide whether to embrace the destructive power of Tamashii or risk everything to forge her own path.
Kali's journey through Hell will test her in ways she never imagined. If she survives, she might emerge as something far greater than she ever thought possible. But Hell is a merciless crucible, and the forces that seek to destroy her are relentless. In a world where only the strongest survive, will Kali rise from the ashes, or will she be consumed by the fires of Hell?
