Shaw Manor

Belphegor is known as one of the Princes of Hell and the demon of sloth. However, do not let this title deceive you; a demon is a demon. As a shape-shifter, Belphegor lures unsuspecting victims into his clutches through deception, taking on the form of whatever an individual desires. He may also terrorize his chosen victim until he gains their soul. There is no limit to the evil that Belphegor is willing to commit to quench his thirst for the souls of humankind.

Step back into Shaw Manor, where Bill and Cathy Pender navigate the challenges of everyday life. Their daughters, Gaea and Vicky, are coming of age, while their seven-year-old son, Aerin, proves to be quite a handful. The family's past experiences within the home now feel like distant memories of a childhood nightmare-one that the Penders wish to forget entirely. However, Shaw Manor has other plans for this growing family, as echoes of past hauntings reveal a force unlike anything they have encountered in the history of the manor.

A lost relic is pulled from the sea, frightening Cathy and reminding the Penders that time has a way of revealing hidden objects and abilities. Gaea explores her own skills as she makes a new friend. Vicky discovers a passion for cooking that leads her to make an important decision about her future, while little Aerin has the biggest revelation of all.

Join us aboard the Archaeon Horizon as it welcomes the newly acquired Scion of the Seas. Together, these ships make an incredible discovery off the coast of Maine, sparking more questions than answers. While Dr. Brambilla speculates about their latest find, Dr. Jeffrey Tarpon has his own theory concerning one of the Penders.

In the final installment of the Widow's Watch trilogy, the past and present collide for the Pender family and their friends. A determined demon and a child with a hidden secret bring terror to Shaw Manor, a hallmark of author Mark E. Welch. Join the Penders once again as they confront their history, navigate their current lives, and prepare for an uncertain future in a home where tomorrow is not guaranteed.
