Edward has started Miskatonic University, hoping to deepen his understanding in the strange and the occult, but little bargaining for meeting a beguiling woman named Asenaith Waite, who can seemingly control the weather. After a disturbing hypnotism, Edward quickly falls for Asenath, little understanding her true intentions.

A very different Edward returns from Europe—witness to awful rituals in impossible places, but as he tries to convince Daniel of the danger ahead, something strange takes over him; something sinister. In the coming months, Edward’s condition deteriorates before Daniel’s and Clara’s eyes, culminating in a rescue from a distant town—but halfway home, just who has Daniel got in his car?
