Neverliese: Hell's Contract

In an instant, everything a man loved was taken away by a Kalku, wielding command over creatures of lore. Fleeing from death with his daughter on his back, he was swept off his feet, and forced to watch as his child died and had her body used to create an anchimayen. That moment, he swore vengeance.

Years later, he's tracked the Kalku down and forged a contract with the forces of Hell itself to get his revenge. However, the price of power isn't cheap. Can he get revenge using the Mad Jester, before he falls into the depths of insanity?

This is the first story of over 9,000 words in the Neverliese series, a collection of dark short stories that have a paranormal base, dealing with creatures of lore and otherworldly spirits.
