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
