Aprašymas

After being stranded in the remote Alps of Europe, a shipwrecked crew of knights are stalked by both human and monstrous threats in this medieval horror that’s perfect for fans of The Terror and Between Two Fires.

There are strange things in the mountains, my lord. Things older and darker than our Christian God. And hungrier.

1192 AD: Jean is a teller of tales meant to bring sense to a world emerging from the darkest of ages steeped in religious conflict. His weary companions are survivors of both miracles and massacres, weighed down by the secrets of their past, and desperate to return to England. When they are shipwrecked on unforgiving shores, the group begins the dangerous trek home and are hunted; both by vengeful men, and something primal and deadly—something not meant to walk in this world. 

As the band of men fall victim one by one, Jean wrestles with suspicion of an unknown threat. His love for his master has already survived a journey of many years and miles; now it will see them both through the dangers ahead. For if they do not make it home a legendary king will fall, a priceless relic will be destroyed, and Jean will lose the person who holds his heart in his keeping. And for his master, Jean would walk into hell itself.

Soon, in the cold and dizzying heights of an isolated mountain road, these mortal men will discover that heroes are merely human, and monsters are very real.
