When Lola Monteux returns to Port Despardoux after a long journey abroad, she brings back more than the fortune she amassed during her vampire past-she carries with her information about an ancient order of demon hunters that has established operations on her island. But home isn't as she left it. Her tight-knit group of friends has unraveled, tensions simmering beneath the surface as grudges threaten to tear them apart.
When danger strikes, the group is forced to take refuge in the hidden passageways and servant's quarters beneath Walt Seabourne's sprawling estate. What begins as a fascinating exploration of the mansion's secrets soon spirals into a waking nightmare as they uncover dark truths buried within its walls. Old magic stirs, awakening vengeful forces tied to the estate's tragic history.
As the ghostly hauntings grow more perilous, Lola must lead her friends in unraveling a sinister mystery. Someone-or something-is targeting them, and with each new discovery, the stakes rise.
But the clock is ticking, and the cost of failure isn't just their friendship-it could be one of their lives.
