Beware the pestilence that walketh in darkness - the terror by night...
1825, Russia has been at peace for a decade, Bonaparte is long dead. For Colonel Aleksei Ivanovich Danilov life is comfortable; the twelve monstrous creatures that he fought all those years ago are defeated. His duty is still to his tsar, Aleksandr the First, however today the enemy is merely human.
But Aleksandr can never be at peace. Revolt is growing within his own army, yet his true fear is of something far more terrible, something that threatens to bring damnation down upon him, his family and his country: a promise sealed in blood...and broken a hundred years before.
Now the victim of the Romanovs' betrayal has returned to demand what is his. For Aleksandr, knowing this chills his very soul. For Aleksei, it seems the vile pestilence that once threatened all he held dear has returned, thirteen years later...
