Exeter: where plague meets prehistory.
The Medusa Psalms Cycle turns now toward Exeter, a town the ragged edge of the Montana frontier.
Above, Exeter suffers plague born of a poisoned mine, a pestilence of ruined flesh and violated spirits. When Henry Akeley arrives with strange recordings from the hills, blacksmith Elijah Coombs is drawn into a horror which threatens the lone light of his life: his daughter, Adeline. But Adeline has seen too much—and the Shadowless have seen her.
Below, an invalid convalesces in the fetid darkness of the Chief Mountain glacier, its grotesque nursemaid fed by an invisible fiend which stalks the dead with impunity.
Only an alliance between Exeter and the reclusive Blackfoot can unearth the ghastly secret in the Undervoid… and stop the machine.
Shame and servitude. Malignancy and monsters. Old Hills and Old Rules.
