The town of Belltou rarely meets conflict or disruption thanks to the efforts of the Belltou Vanguard, an organisation of self appointed warriors to defend the town from threats. However, that is changed when Artemis Vesper, the newest member of the vanguard, ignores the decades old warning of her ancestors and opens a strange box. This act unleashes a curse upon Artemis; she must forever be followed by the demon Azrael, who will consistently attempt to coach her into committing horrible deeds. Regretful of her actions, Artemis decides to leave her home and locate a way to undo the curse and seal Azrael away once again. Artemis forms an unlikely band of fellow travellers along the way; she must cooperate with Azrael, Turlon, Ursula, Stephen, Lilith, Takahaki, MJ, Emerson, Eliza, Tohru and Elyan to achieve her goal.
Unbeknownst to the group, they will become involved in many life threatening situations and meet friend and foe during their quest towards the mysterious city of sand.

In a world where the memory of a brutal war between vampires and other supernatural beings has faded into legend, a new threat emerges from the shadows. Over 500 years have passed since the vampires' bid for domination was thwarted, but now whispers of their return spread fear among those who remember the bloodshed. Artemis, a determined and courageous young werewolf, senses the looming danger. As the leader of her pack, she is committed to protecting her kin and preserving the secrecy of the supernatural world.

In a race against time, Artemis's leadership, bravery, and determination will be crucial in uniting the supernatural community against the vampire threat and safeguarding both their world and the unsuspecting human race.

Letters from the Other Side
She woke to a world washed in silver. The clouds hung low, heavy with secrets. And when the rain began, soft, deliberate. She welcomed it like an old friend. But this morning wasn't like the others.

Still, glowing, watching her like it had been waiting. When she whispered, "Hello," the world began to shift. But the rain wasn't the only thing falling that day. A parcel was coming. A diary that writes back. A demon who already knows her name. And a truth her father buried long ago. The past isn't sleeping. It's waking up.
