The moon hung low in the sky, casting an ethereal glow upon the ancient city of New Orleans. Lorelei Devereaux, a young woman of extraordinary beauty, found herself drawn to the heart of the French Quarter. She had always been captivated by the enigmatic charm of the city, its rich history and the whispers of the supernatural that lingered in the air.
Nestled amidst rolling hills and ancient forests, Barkley had always borne a mysterious air, harboring secrets within its weathered walls. Its once-thriving communities now lay deserted, an eerie hush settling upon each empty home and forgotten street. Some whispered that an otherworldly presence had driven the townsfolk away, while others believed it was simply the work of time and an encroaching modern world.
