By John Hope

In the shadowed forests of medieval England, ancient forces stir, and danger lurks behind every tree. Osric, a curious but cautious chronicler, follows his friend Gareth, a healer with a mysterious past, as they travel to remote, windswept villages where dark omens and whispers of unholy transformations abound. The Viking threat may loom, but a far more sinister force has taken hold.
Osric watches in growing dread as Gareth’s courage and knowledge lead them deeper into an ancient mystery buried beneath sacred monasteries and whispered rites. What begins as an investigation into a local malady soon reveals a ritual far darker, connected to something vast and unseen.
