About the Book
The year is 1,000 AD, somewhere in Eastern Europe...
Rumors about disturbing sightings in a remote village spread, although the Church tries to keep everything a secret.
Is it just the ramblings of ignorant peasants, the work of the devil, or something completely different? An inquisitive stranger tries to solve the mystery in a discrete manner.
What he discovers nestled deep in the snow-covered mountains confirms his worst fears, and will lead to a gory and desperate battle between the living and the living dead. But who breeds this terrible threat?
Will a unit of elite soldiers manage to stop the spread of this powerful and strange evil?
This gripping short story can be read as a standalone.
