Synopsis

Terrible tales are told of Innsmouth, a once prosperous fishing village, but now poverty-stricken. The cause of the degradation is blamed on an epidemic that came from a ship and mercilessly struck the town. However, evil tongues speak of pacts with the devil. Few people venture to travel to the village, as many foreigners have not returned after traveling to Innsmouth. Nevertheless, the protagonist of this story, a traveler in search of his family origins, is attracted to the town and decides to visit it on his way to his final destination. But, to his misfortune, he is forced to spend the night in the town. Will he be prepared to learn the town's macabre secrets?

    Peter Storm was sold to the Devil at birth.  
      
    As a boy, he ran away from home to escape a satanic father and an uncaring mother -- and ended up begging in the streets of a pitiless city. 
    After joining a gang of street kids, he rose to be their leader. Peter became a callous criminal, preying on the weak and defenseless, dreaming of bloodshed. 
    Adopted by a Satanist, he attended his first black sabbath. He was excited by all the occult happenings -- sex orgies and possession by foul rampaging demons. Peter took the name of Sephtis and became a high priest. He carried out blood sacrifices in the name of Satan and spread disorder in the Christian ranks by posing as a youth pastor. 
    He raped, murdered, and destroyed with no conscience. For his loyalty to the Prince of Darkness outweighed any other cause.  
      
    But there was a price to be paid. And when that payment fell due, Peter Storm would face the ultimate horror . . .

    Elise always knew she would run into her ex-husband again, eventually. What she didn't expect was that he would show up in the community she'd built for herself and reveal that the family she's been working for is the same family that disapproved of their marriage eight years ago and refused to meet her. Now he's back in town for his brother's wedding, the very same one she's catering. 
     
     
     
    Shawn's always known that marrying a human went against his pack's rules. It's bad enough that she's become deeply entrenched in his hometown, but when he senses his mate is somewhere nearby, he knows he's in trouble. 
     
     
     
    It just can't be his ex-wife. If she was his true mate, he would have knotted in her eight years ago.

She risks her career, relationships, life, and her very soul to confront the ghosts at the gates. Foreign and domestic forces pursue her and her allies at every treacherous step. 
    Deep in the caves, cliffs, forests and seas of 沖縄 night creatures of legend rise from eons of slumber - and they're hungry for the flesh of a new world. Can Zena survive Okinawa's supernatural invasion, or will she lose everything - including her final thread of faith - to the ユーリー that threatens to consume the island?
