AFTERNIGHT
Beyond the darkness of the night,
Beyond the evil and the fear,
Lies the Afternight.
In 1897, Inspector Ryman Rogue of Canada’s North West Mounted Police travels to Sabbath, England to bury his younger brother, Locke, who died under mysterious circumstances.
Digging deeper into the tragic death, Ryman discovers that some of the residents hold a pact with a child-stealing spectre haunting the local moors. They supply her with fresh victims in exchange for leaving them alone.
Ryman’s eventual confrontation with this demon sees her slain and introduces him to the Afternight, a realm beyond the natural world. Soon after, he meets the Guardians, a group of humans and talking animals dedicated to protecting the earth from the Afternight scourge.
Summoned to Germany to tend to his ailing grandfather, Ryman’s journey is plagued by Afternight horrors he could never imagine, including demonic hounds, subterranean creatures and sinister witches. But his encounters with this realm doesn’t stop there, for it also sends him spiralling through time where he encounters Jack the Ripper and finds himself prisoner in a Nazi death camp during World War Two.
Ryman ultimately arrives at his grandfather’s farm, having barely survived the journey. While he recovers from his wounds, he learns a shocking family secret: his grandfather is one of the leaders of the Guardians, known as a Master Guardian. Is Ryman destined to become one? Or can he live a normal life? The question is cast aside when he learns the forced of evil targets his family back in Canada.
With his grandfather’s help and Guardian magic, he traverses the very fabric of space and arrives back home in a matter of minutes. There he battles and kills a Master Demon to save his family.
Ryman realizes he is not the same man he was leaving Canada three months earlier; he is no ordinary man and accepts his destiny. Destroying a Master Demon is rare as they are powerful and the evil equivalent of a Master Guardian. His grandfather honours Ryman’s bravery and skills by appointing him protector and guardian of the earth.
He becomes Ryman Rogue, Master Guardian.
But he also knows that the realm known as the Afternight is still out there, waiting for him.
