Volume II in the chronological short stories of Esterra Stake. Tractwalker. Mercenary. Exile.

From the ashes of despair, an ember awakens.

Esterra's journey through the fractured lands of Verpace leads her into even stranger and deadlier tracts. In a caustic wasteland, she crosses paths with a naïve steelhunter and a zealous priest who is bent on resurrecting a long-dead cult. As ancient shadows stir and corrupted beasts stalk her every step, Esterra must join with old friends to face a broken world.

But as the licht's call grows stronger, a new hunger festers within her, a hunger which threatens to unravel the fragile threads of her humanity.

The darkness hunts her, but so does the light. Can Esterra hold her ground against the violence of Verpace, or will it smother the fire in the hearth?

With hints of grimdark and Lovecraftian horror, this second volume expands on the world of Verpace, introduces new characters, and brings back a few favourites. This page-turner has visceral action, wild monsters, mutant abominations, and more.
