American civil war- The Deep South

How did a noble mission to ensure the safe return of his daughter's governess to New York, end with Midnight Gunn being stranded on an island off the coast of South Carolina, alone and in the middle of a brutal conflict?

Listening to the dying screams of a village as it burns, Midnight faces a journey home to his beloved family under threat of discovery and death. A trail of blood and superstition have plagued his time in the dark forests and swamps of the south. He must escape before 'she' catches his scent once again. As he stands on the shoreline, ragged and exhausted, Midnight must risk everything and enter a strangely familiar world in an effort to escape what hunts him. The only problem being that what lay in front of him, may yet prove more dangerous than what he is running from.
