With his suspicions aroused and all signs pointing to the return of a centuries-old evil, Grayson fears for his life and the lives of everyone around him. The last time things got this bad, only the disappearance of his wife reset the balance, though her loss devastated him. This time, only her return can help. But Grayson has no idea where to find her or even where to look. Will he be able to save his family and the fate of the world by finding Celine or will the earth be plunged into darkness?
