|  | | A Stirring of Shadows
The beginning of the millennium brings new supernatural horrors for the Earth. Students are disappearing from New York University, and the Golden Sunset, a centuries-old cult, is suspected. Their leader, the mad sorcerer Lorduke, has returned from the dead, and is plotting to unleash an ancient evil upon the world. The only ones that can stop him are the Shadowers, paranormal heroes from a realm that lies somewhere between Heaven and Earth. But even they cannot be sure of victory without their Champion, a young girl who was killed fighting Lorduke a century before. Desperate, they recruit Melody, a college student who is rumored to have brought a child back from the dead. Can Melody become the new Champion and save Earth from certain destruction?
“There are things in the shadows of the universe that most people never dream of,” said Steven. “Unspeakable horrors. Things that mankind was never meant to know about, never meant to face. It’s our job to keep them at bay." "Wow, that's deep, boss," said Stu. Phil began to clap, but Stu stopped him. Steven cleared his throat and continued. "Once in a while, someone like you is born. You’re a natural Elemental, Melody. You were meant to be a warrior for the Shadowverse. It has always been your destiny to fight alongside us. Just like Crystal, and B.W., and yes, even Jason.” "That's right," sai | |  | | The Horror of Lighthouse Hill
"You are very much awake, Melody McClean," said the cow. "Though I'm afraid that the nightmare is just beginning."
Melody McClean, champion monster fighter from the realm known as the Shadowverse, is sent to Charles Gosgrove’s Inn at Lighthouse Hill, NY, to investigate a ghost sighting and a bizarre death. Melody soon learns that there are sinister forces at work at the Lighthouse trying to prevent her from learning its secrets—forces that will destroy her if necessary.
What terrible tragedy lies in the mysterious Cosgrove’s past? What is the hidden agenda of the fallen Cosmic Power known only as the Dissenter? Why have a dog and a duck gone missing? And why are giant spiders protecting the portrait of a sad-eyed little girl?
This is the second of a series of adventures featuring Melody McClean and the Shadowers.
PROLOGUE
Time passes.
A creature that should not exist is catapulted backwards through time. It has unexpectedly been freed from a dimensional prison, a living death arranged by the gods of the universe that succeeded its own.
The creature materializes underground, on the planet that it should have ruled. It has a body, but it knows it will not last long, as it does not obey the laws of this retched universe. Before long it will crumble to nothing, leaving only consciousness.
Only will.
A will that must find itself a new host, before the rulers imprison it |
