The notorious Fleming Orphanage has fallen into disuse after the mysterious events that led to its downfall. The buildings loom high on a hill, overlooking the town, taunting the townsfolk with its lore.On Halloween night, Dorothy and her friends venture up to the old orphanage, the group of six expecting nothing more than a good time along with a few laughs. It isn't long before their night of All Hallow's Eve fun falls into a dark, twisting evil extending beyond the orphanage and town of Plains.Descent begins following the four patriarchs and their origins, before the stories of their descendants unfold.Their descent is only the beginning…The Birthrite Series is an epic journey into the vast unknown, plunging deep into the dark crevices of the mind, begging the question of what sanity really is and if the insane truly are. Are we really shown the whole truth of what surrounds us or is it an illusion? It also tells of deep-rooted love, planted centuries ago and a story of family, forgiveness, and redemption.
