In 1894, American writer Francis Marion Crawford published the popular novel "The Upper Berth." "Mr Crawford's weird story of the Upper Berth is no doubt one of the best ghost stories we have had .... It is a novelty in the literature of supernatural. Crawford treats his subject a vigor and a realism that will make the flesh of ordinary reader creep and will stir the nerves even the most hardened and skeptical." Every now and again, the smell sea water permeates the air, as if the cabin had been flooded and never properly repaired.

The Book of the Gods led me to a pendant created by a dark witch from the past, but this cursed artifact boosts my magical powers and alters it in unforeseen ways. When the demon attacks in our town increase, Daryn suspects a traitor within the Darkwind council. He cuts ties with the governing body in Spirit Falls, and this derision leads to dire repercussions.

When more humans are slaughtered in Spirit Falls and we capture a demon, the interrogation reveals secrets about the underworld and its infrastructure that shock the hunters. I am given a gift that allows me to find a hybrid in their human form, and the battle with the council over the rights of these mortals turns deadly. Do I fight for the hybrids and start a supernatural war with the Darkwind council or let innocent humans be slaughtered?

The struggle over the human hybrids turns fatal, and the Darkwind council severs its union with the hunter's guild, leaving the entrance to the underworld in treacherous hands and our future in danger. When a warlock attempts to kill me and my necro magic becomes unstable, I unleash a zombie apocalypse, and Daryn is forced to take on my powers. But the deceitfulness in this town is deeper than any of us expected, and a sacrifice will be needed to make me whole.

The dark pendant twists my magic and threatens the lives of my bonded hunter and his team, so I agree to take a sacred oath that will bind my soul with theirs forever. When demons continue to breach the gate and the magic that is protecting us falters, we learn the traitor in our midst is more powerful than we suspected with a connection to the king. These events lead us to a new prophecy, but the result could be the total annihilation of the human species.
