They had figured out a big secret about how the world worked and they thought that meant they could change things. They failed. One of their own fell, to darkness and rot. Ten years later, theyve drifted apart, building lives for themselves, families, fortunes. All but Zelda. Shes still wandering the backroads of the nation. Shes still fighting monsters. She knows: the past isnt over. Its not even past. The roads still there. The rots still waiting. They cant hide from it any more. Because, at long last, their friend is coming home. And hell is coming with her. "A novel carved by hand out of salt and rock and bone.
