The Undying Monster

Jessie Douglas Kerruish (1884 - 1949)

A curse has plagued the Hammand family for thousands of years with Oliver Hammand and his sister Swanhild being the last of the line.

What secrets are coded on the sacred runes emblazoned on the hilt of a bronze sword hidden within the walls? It is up to occult investigator Luna Bartendale to unravel the dark mysteries of the past and put a stop to the curse once and for all!
