During lockdown because a prisoner escaped from the Pit, Malachi and his squad are bored, so the teens sneak to the woods near their neighborhood in Hell and find an opening to another world. Of course, the veil is thinnest on All Hallow’s Eve… do they dare?
Mal gets pushed through to Salem, Massachusetts, without his black feathered wings! Will his friends use the skills they’re learning as future infernal law enforcement to locate him?
The humans here have auras – blue for heaven-bound, red for Hell, gray for undetermined – interesting…
Aghh! A seraph from Heaven arrives – are they in competition for a human with a gray aura?
Gotta get home before the veil closes, but the gate to Hell requires that all who entered return in a group… who is missing? The escaped prisoner Parris?!
The townspeople begin acting dangerously, pushed by manipulator Parris as he did during the Witch Trials.
As midnight approaches, Mal and friends reluctantly enlist the help of a teen boy with psychic abilities – they must capture Parris before the veil closes!
The seraph wants to call down avenging angels to wipe out the problem…
Can Mal, Crowley, and Lilith get back home to Hell?
Will Mal tell his parents that he doesn’t want to train for the job assigned by Fate?
They’ll be grounded forever, right?
The balance of the universe is at stake here!
