“Las heladas estapas rusas. Soldados del ejército de Napoleón que batían en retirada ahora no son más que cadáveres congelados en el camino hacia Francia. Unos pocos supervivientes han encontrado refugio en un pueblo minero abandonado, pero lo que no saben es que algo horrible y ancestral se esconde en el lugar. Algo que incluso los cosacos temen, y que les llevará a la locura o a la peor de las muertes”–Page 4 of cover

Two soldiers in Napoleon’s army retreating from his disastrous campaigns in Russia are separated from their unit by a Cossack attack and stumble across an ancient, abandoned mining town where strange and horrific doings are afoot. Teaming up with another unit of forlorn stragglers, they soon discover that they are lost deep in forbidden territory–trapped in the earthly prison of a dark monster-god out of Slavic legend and nightmare. Stalked by the freezing cold of the Russian winter, starvation, madness, the ghosts of the dead, and each other, how can they escape a terrible fate without unleashing an evil bane upon the world?

“Basado en un mauscrito anónimo encontrado en Carcassonne”–Page facing title page verso
