Mallory had always grown up with the knowledge that they were a target because of their summoner family. Fear and paranoia have been part of their life since they were born. This only gets worse after watching their parents be brutally killed by creatures they had never seen before and seeing their brother be forced in the military after he too becomes a summoner. Walls are built to protect the city from these new monsters and peace is brought back. Mallory tries everything to stay out of sight of those in power, but when they are attacked by a monster within city walls they are forced to summon a spirit to help them.

April Frausini can see ghosts. When she was younger, her parents had treated her like a child with a broken brain. They took April to doctors. The doctors sent her to specialists. The specialists put her on drugs. And when the drugs failed to stop the visions, the specialists zapped her brain. After that, April told them that the ghosts had gone. She lied. Now she’s in college and trying to forge a future for herself, but a chance encounter with a dark spirit in a bar puts a bit of a hold on things. A man named Jameson Talbot reaches out to her, explaining that there are worse things than ghosts to be afraid of. The spirit she saw the other night was no mere ghost, but the Devil himself in spectral form. If she chooses, Talbot promises to teach her to control her gift of sight, so that they may help others who have been tormented by these spirits, and potentially put a stop to whatever the Devil has planned. April must choose. Go back to a life where nobody understands her or her visions? Or follow Talbot, find a purpose, and walk down a dangerous path in search of the Devil himself?
