In a dark, frozen land, a lone monster hunter will be tested.
The dead are rising in Knellwind. But something worse stirs beneath the ice, something drawn to his guilt like a vampire is drawn to blood. Essen is no hero. He is the one who let the hero die. Now, with his brother gone and the city on the brink, it's up to him to carry the legacy, but is he strong enough to carry it?
A vampire named Xaranthine offers her help. She’s eight feet tall, the spawn of an ancient vampire brood, and carries a secret of her own behind a black mask. Like the beast beneath the snow and ice, she is drawn to Essen, not to devour him, but to claim him.
To survive, Essen must choose between two monsters. One from his past… and one from his future.
Whichever he chooses, he will never be the same again. He has already lost.
