The ultimate battle between Good and Evil is
about to take place...
For aspiring poet, Stefan Powell, everyday life in the town of
Spook Valley has become a seemingly unbreakable routine. Between
dividing his time working at a local music store, finding
inspiration for a would-be book of dark poetry, and socializing
with his best friend (a modern-day, practicing witch), Stefan
fears he will never escape the daily rat race of life. However,
all of this changes when Stefan visits the desert surrounding
Spook Valley.
What, at first, seems nothing more than a vivid nightmare,
becomes sheer reality when Stefan’s weekly outing places him at
the center of a young man’s rescue from a mysterious portal
appearing in the desert like some impossible mirage. Torn
between the enigma of the origin of the stranger named Breckin
and Stefan’s instant attraction to him, Stefan’s world is thrust
into chaos when he is informed that his aid to Breckin has
opened a doorway to an evil underworld hellbent on bringing
eternal darkness to Earth.
If such a doorway to a Hell existed, Stefan discovers that he is
the key. His terror is confirmed as he is consumed by the
mysteries of an age-old pact that could put an end to humanity
altogether.
With the weight of the world on his shoulders, Stefan Powell now
exists in a reality where the boundaries of truth and fantasy
are obscured. Paired with his best friend and newfound lover,
Stefan will realize that the terrifying face of evil can don any
mask—both of beauty and horror—as each decision in his day to
day life will determine the fate of world.
Racing against time, and coming face to face with creatures
reminiscent of myth, Stefan must unlock the horrific puzzle of
the destructive force known as the Nightworld and find a way to
stop the netherworld from conquering, not only the sleepy town
of Spook Valley, but the entire planet.
