The Descendants have faced tough odds before, but they're about to face a crisis. Morganna returns with help from another world; monsters that make the Mayfield Mauler look like an old friend.

Descendants lived in Virginia, Pennsylvania, Kentucky, Louisiana, Texas, Arizona, North Carolina, Oregon, Idaho, New Mexico, Colorado, Utah, North Dakota and elsewhere.
