The Silent War is a fraction of the darkness that dwells in Driftwood, California.
The ever-gloom that blankets Driftwood's skies in perpetual gray hides stories ignored by Citywalkers, and seldom spoken in The Order, or even among Coven.
There are worse things in Driftwood than moldering grave earth... where death itself is only the beginning.
