    About this ebook

    Three veteran hunters are on the trail of a supernatural creature. It is a simple tracking mission, promising easy money. But things go horribly wrong and the mercenaries realise too late that they are facing one of the deadliest creatures known to man. Embroiled in a desperate fight for survival, their doom may well await them.

    "An energetic, action-packed historical fantasy/horror crossover from a promising debut author." - Stan Nicholls author of The Nightshade Chronicles, Quicksilver Trilogy and Orcs Domain
