In a small town in Mississippi, two witches let their ambitions overrule good judgment as they summon a powerful demon in hopes that he will help them gain favor and power within their coven. When their offered vessel attempts escape, the summoning circle is broken and the vessel killed, leaving the witches at the mercy of the freed dark entity. With the witches dead, Abaddon is free!
As head investigator of the Lemont Paranormal Research team, Collin Fitzgerald has his hands full trying to keep the team focused on work. A job in Georgia introduces a powerful psychic named Shera to the group. She helps them get rid of a troublesome spirit, and Collin reluctantly offers her a job. Things get complicated as Han and Collin decide they both want to pursue a relationship with her.
Collin accepts a new job in Mississippi and with it, chaos erupts. Shera's ever developing abilities lead to a startling revelation as the group finds themselves face to face with the demon Abaddon. A horrific encounter leaves a member of the team in ICU and the rest of the group scrambling for answers. They quickly discover that things are far worse than they thought and leaving the house did little to keep them safe. With a demon out for blood, will the team survive?
"Foolish human!" He drew closer to the terrified woman, closing off any chance of escape. "I do not need help from the likes of you." He pressed his palms against the wall on each side of the shivering woman, and leaned in, whispering in her ear, "Oh, I will punish you, and you will beg for death, long before I grant it to you." He pulled back to look at her frightened face. "Worry not, I will let you watch this man you love so much suffer and die before I end you."
"Ah Grayson," He drawled as he extended an arm with sharp claws to lean against the tree, "you finally stopped ignoring me. Do you know what this means?"
The demon's smile only seemed to get wider, the eyes following suit. In a blink of an eye he was in front of Grayson, grabbing his throat.
He brought Grayson's ear closer to its mouth, the smell of sulfur filled his nose making him cough and struggle against the demon's grip.
"Your true self is finally coming alive." The demon's teeth clicked as he spoke. "This is going to be so much fun."
Grayson is a troubled soldier who cannot remember anything about his past beyond the war. Eleanor is his wife who has kept her illness a secret, and will continue to until the day she dies.
When Eleanor disappears, Grayson goes on a quest to find her, trying to find any kind of clue to point him in the right direction.
But the deeper he dives into his search, the stranger things become. A new realm, suppressed memories, odd companions, and an old acquaintance that lives within him, all will either eat away at his sanity or have him become something darker. Something sinister. Something evil.
