Murder, love, madness, obsession, vengeance and redemption… if you hold a candle to the darkness you will find yourself in the company of shadows… but if you stare into the darkness for too long, you let the darkness stare into you.

 

In the heart of a war-torn empire, where religious fervour fuels a savage conflict, lies the ancestral home of the von Tassau family. Amidst the harsh winter of 1630, as the Thirty Years War ravages central Europe, seventeen-year-old Solace von Tassau grapples with premonitions of the fire and blood about to consume her home.

​

When the church bell tolls and flames light up the sky one midwinter's night, Solace's warnings fall on deaf ears. But as chaos descends upon their home, Solace, her troubled mute brother Torben, and a young soldier named Ulrich Renard, find themselves thrust into a nightmarish battle against forces beyond their comprehension. Amidst the terror and slaughter the survivors must decide whether to run or stand. But their attackers are not marauding soldiers looking to rape and pillage. 

They are something far worse... and they have come for her...

​

So begins a dark journey along the Night's Road in pursuit of a terrible adversary, for Solace von Tassau and her faithful retainer, Ulrich Renard. In this gripping tale of vengeance, honour, and the unbreakable bonds of friendship, Solace and Ulrich must navigate a treacherous path where every step could lead to damnation. For in a world where death lurks in every shadow and the line between humanity and monstrosity blurs to nothing, only the brave and the ruthless will emerge victorious in a battle against a darkness that threatens to consume the world.

​

But at what cost?
