Shylah

"If you could live again, would you take another's life?" Carey is a promising grad student at Old Dominion University, trying to live up to her successful family's high expectations. Unfortunately, she has a useless boyfriend, too, wrapped up in his ambitions. On the surface, her friends are supportive, providing the outlet she needs to manage daily stressors until they invite an old evil into our world one night. Carey's friends are working with this evil from a faraway land to take Carey's life away so it will live again.

This entity has a counterpart coming to our world, and mortal allies will try to banish it back to its prison.

The two groups clash in a ceremony that could determine the balance of our world, costing Carey her life.

It is loosely based on Irish folklore of excellent and malevolent spirits.
