Publisher's Synopsis
Two children, left alone in a poor cottage, face an army of the undead. Only to be visited by a mysterious swordsman: mercenary and Inquisitor-priest; philosopher, and barbarian. Will they all be each others' salvation? Or are there more things to beware of than the dead who walk the night? In this novella of dark fantasy and historical horror, Subiaga's quintessential protagonist, Thane "Le Mal," the swordsman and scholar from Western lands many do not yet know exist, ventures across a 15th century "Old World" he was not born into. Coming head to head with its temporal and spiritual wars--and it's most visceral terrors.
