Exeter: where plague meets prehistory.
The Medusa Psalms Cycle turns now toward Exeter, a town on the ragged edge of the Montana frontier.
Below, an ancient cosmic entity convalesces in the fetid darkness of the Chief Mountain glacier. Above, Exeter buries its dead and smothers sins wrought from a plague that not only twists flesh, but tortures the mind's eye.
When Henry Akeley arrives with strange recordings from the hills, blacksmith Elijah Coombs is drawn into a horror which threatens the lone decent remnant of his life: his daughter, Adeline. But Adeline has already seen too much—and the Shadowless have seen her.
Only an alliance between Exeter and the reclusive Blackfoot can unearth the ghastly secret roiling ravenous and insane in the Undervoid.
Shame and servitude. Malignancy and monsters. Old Hills and Old Rules.
