About

An epic fantasy based on the traditional Czech fairy tales about a righteous Hell, a charming Innkeeper, a Baroque slacker who wants to get rich quick, corrupt councillors and a young devil who eventually rescues ever yone and deserves the love of his beloved . A story about how those who want to get rid of Hell don‘t have good intentions for ordinary people, and how paradise must be earned by each man for himself. Devils, in the Czech and Slovak fairy tales, are not evil nor a source of cheap horror. But rather the guardians of justice, who carry humans into hell, when their sinful deeds break the peace.
