If only magic wasn't so fickle... and Bernadette was a better witch.
The Night of Passing has ended. The demons and spirits have retired to the Nether realm. Poe, Bernadette, and Caleb turn in too, hoping to recuperate from the night's events.
But there is no rest for Bernadette. She feels the pressure to not only solve the biggest mystery that threatens their world but also learn a thing or two about the demons that trickle out of that other world.
She is especially intrigued by the newest and most terrible thing that has crawled into Mock Cob village. Unlike its predecessors, this demon is not relegated to the darkness; even in the light of day, the townspeople are in danger. And its purpose is inextricably tied to the town's dark past.
