Prelude

Facing down the insanity of the Chaoticum, Captain Ganse leads a handpicked team of Aether Guards on patrol.

Long trained and battled hardened, this band of heroes must forsake magic and hunt the vile Spawn with deadly determination, simple brutal weapons and obscure advice buried in an ancient book.

What starts as another routine sweep soon becomes a battle for survival as they are challenged by horrors powerful beyond record. Now, not even skill, experience and the Captain's unique family legacy can guarantee the patrol's survival. In a chain of battles where the soldiers must win every time but the enemy needs but a single victory, can the patrol triumph or will the Realm's dark blood finally choke the bright heart of their homelands?

Grimdark meets Bronzepunk in this action packed novella that launches a unique hard fantasy epic set in a deeply immersive character centred world.
