Plot Summary
44-year-old Evan Fosster was just looking for a cheap room for the night, but what he finds at The Mirage Motel will change his life forever. Within the walls of this rundown motel, three sultry succubi are imprisoned by arcane forces and dark desires. Evan is stunned to discover that their fates and powers are tied to his very existence. With their unique gifts, each succubus will take Evan to unimaginable heights of carnal pleasure as he brings them into his service.
But even as Evan sinks into the sensual delirium of his succubus lovers, a shadowy figure is weaving a plot that could cast Evan into the abyss. Will Evan survive and claim his succubus harem, or will he be lost to eternal darkness?
