CHOICES ARE MADE. CYCLES MUST CLOSE. THE END IS HERE. Ignore. Forget. Postpone. Three words that will soon prove fatal. After the horrors of the First Night, a deceitful peace settles over White Harbor, as if brought forth by an unknown force. However, this is only the calm before the storm. The Ritual of the Four Nights continues. Martha Lange strikes in a cruel, unexpected way, turning that peace into townwide panic. She will not rest until she has Peter Lange under her control. Freddie Parham, fueled by new power, continues his blood-soaked rampage, seeking revenge on Barry Giffen and his loved ones. Nadine Schaefer and Jess Cunningham each come across mysterious new players who hold a pivotal role before the end. As White Harbor unravels, Mother watches, ready to deliver a reckoning that has been brewing for three hundred years. GOD HAS AWAKENED.
