South of Hell

In Charleston, South Carolina, a city shrouded in darkness, it's hard enough for a young woman like Maria Abascal to shake her personal demons. They cling. Now a stranger has enlisted Maria's help in delivering Charleston from an insidious and mounting evil, and Maria's the only person who can help. For her, that means confronting the past, and the one person who has made her life a living hell.

When David lands in jail, he's less protected than ever from his father's malevolent influence. His predicament also forces his sister Maria to face off against a sadistic judicial adversary whose abused son has fallen victim once again to the forces of evil. And, as Reverend Bledsoe opens his new church to the public, a strange new cult emerges from the most unlikely corners of Charleston.

Maria and Reverend Bledsoe gather evidence against Enos while David falls sway to the mysterious sect, The Society of Sons. They're persuading David to believe that Bledsoe and Enos are actually one and the same, hoping to put David and Maria on opposing sides of a war against evil. But as trust is called into question, a desperate Maria finds an unlikely allegiance.

With David and Grace in danger, Charlotte is enlisted to help them go into hiding. But the discovery of their safe place triggers a series of unexpected repercussions. It forces the devil out of Dean's mother, renders Maria and Abigail powerless, draws an avenging Society of Sons to Bledsoe's doorstep, and brings Maria and Tetra closer to understanding Grace's ultimate role in the coming darkness.

Maria discovers a strange gateway in her childhood home and ventures into its darkness in search of Grace, who has been lured to a terrifying underworld. There, just outside of Hell, lost souls await their whereabouts of her mother, the answer opens the door to a shocking discovery about the past.
