One house, countless mysteries, and a truth so dark it could end everything.
When a young actress is found murdered under chillingly mysterious circumstances in his mansion, celebrity medium Jacob Shepherd's carefully crafted act begins to crumble. Desperate and out of his depth, he turns to Michael Merlyn, a renowned psychic and exorcist with real powers—and secrets of his own. Alongside Merlyn’s paranormal detectives, Kate and Victoria, they dive into a labyrinth of dark energies and hidden truths within the house. As they peel back the layers, they uncover a force that threatens not just their lives but the very fabric of reality itself. Secrets are exposed, alliances tested, and the line between life and death fades—will they survive long enough to stop the horror they’ve unleashed?
The Haunting of Blackwater Cottage
Recently widowed, Alicia Hawkins can no longer live in the New York apartment she shared with her husband. She leaves the city behind for a small fishing village in Duxbridge, Massachusetts, where she purchases a rundown house the locals have dubbed Blackwater Cottage. But the quiet life and beautiful views are disrupted by secret notes and unexplained phenomena. During renovations, Alicia discovers an old leather-wrapped diary hidden between the studs of a bedroom wall. She can’t help but wonder who it belonged to and why the locals are so determined to get her to leave, but the diary may hold the answers to Blackwater Cottage’s disturbing history.
