THE McBAIN DYNASTY

Since 1733, when Rachel Wainwright, a woman blessed with psychic powers married a rich slave trader, Thomas McBain, the family has been cursed by a supernatural and terrifying force that would torment them generation after generation.

Rachel McBain’s experimentation with Voodoo - the religion of the slaves on her estate - led her to insanity. It was this insanity that ended in the eventual sacrifice of a Medenham servant girl awaking Azazeal, the leader of the Nephelim. The Nephelim are fallen angels, banished from heaven by god for tasting the pleasures of mortal women. Azazeal had been waiting centuries for a sacrificial awakening and now was his chance.

Following the McBain bloodline through the centuries and the generations, long after Medhenham Hall was abandoned, the curse followed this wretched family from England to India, to the Antipodes and back destroying each poor woman who held these dangerous powers.

Through twisted fate and woeful luck, the direct relative of Rachel Wainwright, earned a scholarship at the college that used to be her descendants cursed mansion, the very mansion where Azazeal, the leader of Nephelim sleeps and waits to take a new soul and a new lover.

*******

And so, in 2004, a lonely and ostracised girl finds a strange clay jug in the derelict servant’s quarters of Medenham Hall. The same clay jug used by Rachel to summon Azazeal, all those years ago. Azazeal has waited a long time for this girl.

The girl’s name is Cassie. Although she does not know it yet, she is the sixth - and last - of the McBain witches…
