The Dirty Dozen meets The Exorcist in this exciting chase across a war-ravaged empire!
Marduk, the hero of the siege of Skalak’s Pass, is a nearly broken figure. But when his general commands him to lead one final mission deep into enemy territory, he cannot say no.

Betrayal lurks in every corner, and not everyone gets out alive.
Sword and sorcery at its darkest, as blackest magic and highest ideals clash in this exciting novella that will tear at your heart while burying its fangs in your throat!
'Mammone spins a taut tale, painted in deep shades of black, from which, by the end, all light has been removed.' Fletcher Vredenburgh, Black Gate Online'
