The HowlSage rose deep in the mine tunnels and taunts Taylor with every battle. Time is running out, and as Halloween approaches, a new threat is on the horizon. A threat not seen in a hundred years. Still reeling from the loss of his father and his mother before that, Taylor must find the strength to wear the mantle of a demon hunter and banish the HowlSage before it brings havoc to Ashley Meadows. But two mysterious Cloaks are haunting the countryside and spoiling Taylor's every attempt and hiding the greater danger rising within the mines.

​“What Frank Peretti did for my generation, Eastman is doing for the younger generation.”
