When an ancient and powerful witch did the impossible and escaped after an eternity of being tortured in the pits of Hell… he thought his troubles were over.

Soon after Esa’s return to Earth, he quickly discovered that both his magic and the world that he had left behind had changed–and not for the better. Without his innate spellcasting abilities or support from the covens, he had no choice but to forge ahead and hope for the best.

Esa’s chance meeting with Skylar Lee, a dark witch with an incredible power that promises much, is a turning point and awakens within him feelings and changes he cannot easily explain and refuses to subdue. As the 300-year-old witch, who appears to others to be a teenaged boy after his time in Hell stopped his aging process, struggles with emotional turmoil. Esa cannot spot a twin threat to his life and any chance of happiness that he may have with Skylar.

Thegon, the sinister ruler of hell, is not yet done with Esa. Aided by the malevolent Akin Tullo, who will do anything to implement Thegon’s will on Earth, they plan to corrupt the government, conjure demons from the depths, and dominate the realms of men. Can Esa and Skylar stop them, save the future of humanity and their own relationship, as well?

The Ouiums Journey: Hell Broke Loose is the epic first volume of an imaginative and immersive LGBTQ fantasy series that features potent witchcraft, mythical creatures and an empowering exploration of new emotions and blossoming relationships in a dark and dangerous world.

Esa Blyth

Esa is an Ouium with a mysterious life force and siphoning abilities. Esa was born on Doetune. He is gifted in the art of combat magic. Esa escaped Hell and must elude Thegon and his minions. He yearns for a place to call home.

Before his stay in Hell, he suffered a significant loss and still struggles with emotional turmoil. Despite this, Esa is compassionate and loves helping people.

Skylar Lee

Skylar Lee is a self-taught witch who meddles with dark magic, defying the fundamental laws of witchcraft. Despite this, he is gentle. He is hungry for power, and no one knows why he needs this much dark magic.

Skylar was born on Doetune in the 2000s and grew up without his parents. Without anyone to teach him how to use his magic, he had no choice but to forge ahead.

Thegon Izaak

After his banishment, the devil, Thegon Izaak, is a timeless being who is now the sinister ruler of Hell. His domain is ruthless, filled with demons and laments of suffering souls.

Not much is known about Thegon apart from he is evil by nature and cocky. No one will stand in his way. He will get what he wants no matter the cost.

Editorial Reviews

Review

"I liked the character, Esa so much. His conflicting personality is very relatable. He possesses a great power, but he is confused and afraid to embrace its possibility. He is pushed to his limits. But when he realised that there is no turning back and he has to fight with the dark God for his freedom. He conquered all his doubts and fights with full power. The message is clear. We can achieve anything if we conquer our fears and embrace our strengths." - Amina; Fantasy book blogger

From the Author

5.0 out of 5 stars Badass hero!
Reviewed in the United States on September 6, 2020

Dylan McClintock created a thrilling fantasy book full of mystery, action and romance. I really liked it! You keep connecting with all the characters which is not easy. It is very hard for an author to create empathy between the reader and the characters, but you can expect it in The Ouiums Journey. Also, have you seen this awesome cover? It screams caution awesome fantasy novel right here.
I recommend The Ouiums Journey as it is a great story with diabolic creatures and magic. Our main characters Esa Blyth and Skylar Lee are fierce and so badass, that I kind of would love to be like them. They have to face a great threat from Thegon who is the ruler of hell. He is your worst nightmare that you could possibly imagine and he is here to rule over men with the help of his fellow demons. Will Esa and Skylar be able to stop him and save the world?
Also, finally we get a LGBT couple in a fantasy book! It is a breath of fresh air and truly something that made be truly happy as someone quite new in this community.
Dylan did a wonderful job describing the many characters personalities and expressions. His writing skills are excellent and to me this book is a must for this summer. You can expect a roller coaster of emotions. Believe me when I tell you that it is addictive.

5.0 out of 5 stars An Incredible Reading Experience!
Reviewed in the United States on September 7, 2020

Although I have read a few dark fantasy horror novels, this was my first authentic experience in this genre. Initially, I was skeptical about what to expect and was unsure whether I would cover the entire length of the book. A few pages down the line, the book had already started capturing my attention, and I was soon a captive of the story. What had started as a simple reading turned out to be one of my best experiences for a genre that I have ignored for so long.
The book is action-packed to the capacity, and its thrilling and adventurous narrative served me well. Besides, if there is one thing that I will never forget from the book is that love does not discriminate on gender or ethnicity or race. It is a mutual feeling that can bring two people together to create their own imaginary world. Including the romantic aspect in the story gave a unique flavor to the dark fantasy horror and helped to develop the characters further. I am glad to see that there will be a book 2 coming soon. Incredible experience!

4.0 out of 5 stars Excellent story
Reviewed in the United States on September 6, 2020
Esa Blythe is a unique protagonist that makes readers want to keep turning the page to find out more about his story. With twists and turns along the way, this book kept me hooked from page one to the very end. I loved the pacing, the characterizations, the LGBT representation that was done with thought and care. This story is one that I very much recommend to anyone who loves magic and fantasy, and a dash of romance.

5.0 out of 5 stars A interesting and provocative novel.
Reviewed in the United States on August 30, 2021
The Ouiums Journey: Hell Broke Loose: is the first novel in the series Witchcraft and Ancient Evil written by Dylan McClintock. This is the first novel I have written by this author. I found his writing to have a crisp dialogue without unnecessary fluff or filler, three dimensional characters that come to life on the pages and a believable storyline made for a quick, entertaining read. While this is a longer novel (500 pages) the writing is so cohesive that it can be all consuming, leaving you not wanting to put it down. I highly recommend this novel. I gave this honest, voluntary review after being given a free copy of the book with no monetary compensation.

5.0 out of 5 stars epic, engrossing story
Reviewed in the United States on November 7, 2020
There are a lot of things to like about this novel: the world building is super creative, the plot is engrossing, and the characters are complex but still sympathetic. It's a long novel, but it doesn't feel that way-- it's so easy to get caught up in.There's something very compelling about Esa, and the world he inhabits.

I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.

I had an amazing time reading this. It’s a great fantasy thriller. First of all the world build up is awesome.  The main protagonist of the story is Esa Blyth. He has got magical powers  although at first he was at the influence of dark magic but he escapes from the pits of hell. Then he meets Skylar Lee and suddenly his life changes from then onwards. But he keeps getting nightmares and dreams from his past and it  bothers him. Now he just wants to use his magic without being a threat to anyone but Thegon, the powerful God of Hell stands on their path and they have to find a way to save mankind from Thegon and his powers. It’s a very adventurous and thrilling story with lots of twists and turns.All the characters have very strong personalities.  I liked how Skylar was a constant support for Esa. Very well crafted chemistry between the two LGBT Characters. The pacing of this book was also perfect.
