Six Clerics. One night. No way out. Survive the siege in this grimdark fantasy horror.
A Bishop has vanished. A Sanction of six Clerics is sent to find him. What they discover is a massacre.
In the dense forests of Vryndal, the holy mission turns into a blood-soaked nightmare. Orwyn and his brothers-in-faith find bodies torn apart from within and ancient sigils carved in human blood. The trail leads to Corryn, a village where the welcome feels rehearsed and the residents watch with empty, bloodshot eyes.
The trap is already sprung.
When the sun sets, the pretending stops. The forest loops back on itself, twisting space to ensure no one leaves. Surrounded by an army of enthralled thralls, the Sanction is forced into a desperate last stand.
Six Clerics. One night. No way out.
