Beneath the brooding walls of Phillips Exeter Academy, a man draped in sinister intent dons the guise of a librarian. His true motives lurk unseen behind a facade of mystery. Driven by a twisted vendetta, he dabbles in forbidden rituals, plotting to unleash an apocalyptic force upon the unsuspecting city of Exeter.
 
His twisted plan? Sacrifice 17 innocent souls to a demonic entity, plunging the city into a chilling tableau of terror. With each life stolen, an echo of fear reverberates through the cobbled streets, leaving citizens paralysed with dread.

Lieutenant John Lane, alongside Officer Rochelle Rae and Detective Ben Harrison, are the city's last hope of defence against the encroaching darkness.

Amidst the loss and dread, John and his team must unravel the mystery behind the eerie deaths and understand the malevolent motives of the killer. Can they thwart the impending chaos, preventing the librarian from sacrificing 17 souls and stopping Exeter's irreversible descent into darkness?

The battle for salvation unfolds in the chilling letters of death, each a key to unlocking the gateway to an inescapable and malevolent fate.

The Hound

65 parts Complete

Antique store owner Liz brings home a Victorian taxidermy hound from auction, unwittingly unleashing dark forces on her wife and son. ***** Nat Loman has finally married the love of her life, Liz, and is getting used to her role as stepmother to Liz's 5-year-old son, Liam. The Loman family runs a bustling antique business so they attend a sale where a striking, black taxidermied hound is up for auction. Liz picks it up for the business, but it ends up being stored in their home, where Nat notices strange things occurring. She quickly discovers the past residents had died violently. Then she hears from a friend about the myth of "the devil's dog", a hound that perches in the shadows, tearing families apart from the inside. Soon, people around the Lomans are dying, and Liz is changing, darkening. It's up to Nat to save the woman she loves from the darkness closing in, and to save Liam from danger no matter what she has to sacrifice.
