Grayson went to the Empire to live the best life he could. Drake tagged along, because who was he to leave Grayson alone? That was cruel. This punishment was crueler. But he would give Grayson the best life he could, even if it cost his own. [Cover art is not mine. Thank you, Piper, for betareading!]

The trio went through their respective portals, but only one made it directly home. With Grayson assumed to be in hiding, the emperor has ordered his top assassin, Luke and the rest of his mercenaries to find the Enderman hybrid to use him as bait for Grayson, but rumors from spies have spread in the palace that the hybrid is more than meets the eye. Drake struggles with keeping his mind and health in balance as a demon is threatening to take control of his body to spread his chaos and destruction. He searches for his lost friends in hopes that they will help him find salvation, but fear can block out the most begging of cries. Grayson has been laying low trying to find the drago hatchery, but complications come wayward when he discovers his friends condition and comes face to face with a problem he should have gotten rid of long ago. The past has ways of returning, and even the most dreadful of memories can become ones fate. (Warning! Story contains censored swearing , graphic description of gore and possible suggestive mentions in later chapters!)

The four get separated after The Magical Library. Each face their own obstacles, but end up meeting in a twist of fate.

I am a notetaker. I won't deny that. I have decided that I am going to post my notes as The Haunted series goes along for all to see. Don't read unless if you want to be overwhelmed by my "genius." (the cover's temporary)
