Dark Road Diaries

An emergency at St. Bruno's draws the attention of the Order of St. Michael as the supernatural forces surrounding the church become impossible to contain or ignore. With Jamie still beyond their reach and the situation deteriorating rapidly, Jack, Daria, Jenkins, Harlow, and their uneasy allies face one final attempt to stop Vaelcor before the consequences extend far beyond their missing friend.

Jack, Daria, and Monsignor Jenkins grapple with the chilling reality that Vaelcor may have gained the upper hand by capturing Jamie and the key to the portal. As they sift through the aftermath of a massive resonance event, tension mounts when Harlow’s sudden disappearance leaves them scrambling for answers. With the stakes higher than ever, the trio must navigate a web of supernatural legalities and witness implications that could determine their fate and Jamie's. As they uncover unsettling truths about their roles as witnesses, the urgency to stop Vaelcor from establishing a standing invitation becomes paramount. But can they unravel the mystery in time, or will they become pawns in a game far beyond their control?

After a disturbing encounter with what may be a trace of Jamie, Jack and Daria return to St. Bruno's to test Harlow's theory about the infernal lock. With Monsignor Jenkins beside them and Harlow guiding the experiment remotely, they struggle to determine whether they have found a genuine connection or a trap designed to exploit their desperation. The test soon takes on a life of its own, creating a dangerous reaction that could give Vaelcor exactly what he needs.

Still reeling from Jamie’s disappearance, Jack and Daria return to St. Bruno’s for a late-night examination of the two strange artifacts they have recovered. With Monsignor Jenkins hosting and Harlow guiding the experiment remotely, the group hopes to understand how the pieces work before Vaelcor makes another move. What begins as a cautious test inside the church study soon reveals that the artifacts can affect far more than locked doors. As the room itself starts behaving unnaturally, their search for answers becomes frighteningly personal.

Jack, Daria, and Monsignor Jenkins follow a fragile lead to the long-abandoned St. Agatha's Cemetery, where the grounds are pristine, the rules are oddly specific, and the afterlife appears to run on receipts. With Harlow guiding them from afar, they must navigate a maze of supernatural bylaws to uncover something that could help Jamie, provided they don't violate the cemetery's strict standards of quiet enjoyment first.
