Midlife Demons and Demigods

I fled Spirit Falls as soon as I was old enough, and the Darkwind council was happy to see me go. But it's been 20 years, and they are short on hunters in their supernatural war. So when they offer my son a place in their ranks, I portal myself to the council chambers in anger.

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.

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.

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.

As our investigation progresses, a well-respected council member is killed and the person who betrayed them is revealed. But things aren't as they seem and there are many layers to this magical deception. Investigating my past brings me back to the lake, which claimed the life of my dearest friend, and I am faced with his killer and the truth surrounding his death. Yet the consequences of my actions afterward, weakened the powerful security system safeguarding our small town.

As the demon king eludes capture and the search for him yields no results, the hunters' base is attacked, resulting in numerous fatalities. When the dead rise and march to war alongside us, I am forced to confront the truth of my past and the cost of my parents' courage. Still, the final battle has arrived and I have to put my emotions aside and fight by my parafinai's side. When the king's power proves more than my own, will I sacrifice my bonded hunter or my only son?

When an explosion at the Hunter Museum rocks the supernatural world, sending shockwaves far beyond our imagination, Caleb and I begin to experience surges of necromancer power, causing dissension between the hunters and the council. Demon attacks surge in frequency, while long-buried secrets and forgotten hybrids reemerge from the shadows

After narrowly escaping the clutches of a nightmarish ordeal, Daryn and I capture one of the mutated hybrids, but it isn’t the evil monster we have encountered in the past and I am determined to save it. But my actions will set off a chain of events that will test not only our strength but our very beliefs. As we delve deeper into the mysteries surrounding the hybrid, we uncover a tangled web of deceit and dark magic. A godly intervention reveals that the dark witch holds power beyond our comprehension and even the king of hell fears her.

When we are attacked by mutated hybrids and one of the Frost twins is gravely injured, I am forced to call on a power beyond my comprehension. I utilize a mysterious artifact but end up playing into the hands of dark, malevolent forces. Unraveling the tangled web of deceit, I uncover the origins of the dark witch and her unholy alliance with the creatures threatening our existence. With an army at her fingertips, she poses a threat that could spell the end for humanity. Yet, the darkest revelation is still to come and it shakes the very foundation of my being.

With the entire hunter community reeling from Sahara’s death and the Frost twins ready to implode, I fall ill and look to the council for answers. While Hecate reassures me there is nothing wrong, I feel there is more going on as we search for a hidden temple belonging to the dark witch. When Mardella steals another artifact, we begin to theorize what she has in store for us and the demon king, and it doesn’t bode well for either realm. But the demon king fears the dark witch more than we do, and he sends a horde of demons to destroy everything in their wake.

While my son continues to reel from his recent loss and seems to pull further away from me and his friends, our communication with the demon king yields surprising information. But information from the underworld comes at a cost and we have yet to learn the true price. We learn about the dark witch’s past and clues to her plan. But an artifact she needs is stolen and if we don’t retrieve it, our realm could fall. As my magic continues to mutate, I find myself on the brink of oblivion and driven to protect those I hold dear.

When a heated debate about my pregnancy brings the truth crashing down, my team insists I step back from active duty. But Hecate insists I have to remain on task, and it angers my parafinai and the other hunters.
