I soon found out that all was not as it appeared to be and that I was not who I believed myself to be. Could I do it? As a mother of one grown up daughter and ...

And some new recruits this time around, most notably a creature I had believed to be purely mythological up until now... just as well, because those pesky forces of darkness are not going down ...
