About
At winter’s edge, Slatebark Hollow trembles. In Madet—a remote research frontier—an inexplicable sickness warps the local fauna into nightmarish forms. Supply wagons have vanished, and C.H.A.S.M.M., the university city-state that sustains them, has fallen silent. Desperate, the Council of Expertise dispatches a ragtag band of adventurers into the growing darkness:
Raz Tocum—parole-bound human thief turned reluctant guard, who’d rather lift a wallet than draw blood.
Vandal “Val” Isim—a well-meaning faun whose clumsiness belies his sharp instincts; now Raz’s parole officer.
Calico Bogdan—a traveling katari bard whose captivating performances hide a cunning artist and freighter of secrets.
Gabriel Baybo—a drakona bounty hunter with a zeal for the chase that borders on obsession.
Nyla—a katari ocean priest exiled inland, serving as Madet’s chaplain under mysterious orders.
Their mission: breach the silence, unravel the mutations, and survive the horrors lurking beyond Madet’s frosted boundaries—before winter claims them all.
