Craptacular Understatement

A beautiful mythological bird has been summoned to aid a sick grandfather. Unfortunately it's attracted the attention of the local doves with unexpected side effects.

Dive-bombing birds are causing havoc and making the residents sick. The clock starts ticking when one of the D.E.M.ON. team gets infected.

Coming this fall, installment 3 in the D.E.M.ON. Tales series.
