Perhaps rightfully so. I remain a suspect in the brutal deaths of my father and his second wife despite the verdict of innocence at my trial. With our inheritance, my sister, Emma, and I have taken up residence in Maplecroft, a mansion near the sea and far from gossip and scrutiny. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e But it is not far enough from the affliction that possessed my parents. Their characters, their very \u003ci\u003esouls\u003c\/i\u003e, were consumed from within by something that left malevolent entities in their place. It originates from the ocean's depths, plaguing the populace with tides of nightmares and madness. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e This evil cannot hide from me.
