Fear takes root.
It wraps around a haggard family tree, piercing and strangling;
Predating upon an ancient lineage.
Predating upon an ancient lineage.
All it takes is one rotten seed.
When Alistair Mordant, thought lost at sea, returns to the bosom of his family, he is different. He was never a kind man, but now he is become monstrous; an effigy of Fear - both wielding and wielded by. His poison infects his entire family, twisting them wretched and ruined in the grip of Alistair’s Malignancy and their own vices.
But his reach extends far beyond the family home: Alistair is a politician with designs on the whole of The Isles and is set on turning them, beginning with the capital city Cartalhouse, into an outpost of Fear’s darkling domain.
To uproot the threat, Hunters will have to not only brave the Mordant family’s Hollows, but wrest their home city from his grasp.
