Years ago, when life was calmer and brighter, there was but a boy, playing in the garden with his two dogs, his dark-skinned horse, and his personal nurse. The boy had a name, it was Michael. Michael was happy, content, and can't wait for what life had in store for him, but he could have never predicted this was his future...
Now at the age of 20 and with the death of his mother motivating him all throughout his journey away from his hometown of Withermere, Michael decided to finally go back. Now older and wiser, he believes he is ready for anything darkness may throw at him... is he?

In this book, we will be following the journey of Michael Davrek III throughout the town of Withermere as a lurking darkness surge within his mansion whilst evil arises throughout Withermere. Macabre is upon us..."
