Dusty roads, dark forests, ancient secrets, and ominous signs—everything lies in his path.
The vedun is the only one who can hold back the darkness…
But will he be able to cope when trouble comes not from outside, but from within?
A road is the vedun’s lot.
Leaning huts are replaced by rich mansions; muddy swamps turn into rushing rivers; rusty steppes give way to impenetrable forests. The vedun walks, trampling his native lands from one end to the other. If your craft is to reconcile the Old Tales with the Untrue Tales, to help people and good—though not human—unclean spirits, and to cut down evil undead—then you’ll never know peace.
A harsh life—the world lives through labor and cares. Spellcasters and the servants of Ruin play their own game. A distant echo of ancient heroes roams the land. Along the borders, black clouds of an unknown misfortune gather. And over all the Fairytale Rus hangs an unseen shadow of Evil.
And something wicked is growing inside—uninvited, forced upon him.
Will it break free?
