Lydia Quinn has spent her life locked inside Angel City Psychiatric Hospital – beautiful, dangerous, unreachable. What she doesn’t know is that she’s surrounded by demons – and that the hospital itself isn’t real. It’s a construct inside Limbo, the first circle of hell, where lost souls are broken down until faith gives way to damnation.
When a crew of small-time criminals is hired to grab her, they have no idea what they’ve stepped into. Because Lydia isn’t just an heiress with a trust fund. She was bargained away before she was born, claimed by something demonic since childhood, and kept alive for a reason not even she understands.
The First Circle is a psychological supernatural horror asking one question: in a place built to make you forget who you are – can you hold on long enough to be found?
