Take the Darkness and Give Us the Light

A sound fills the Wolverns ears, familiar, yet one that never should not exist in this place of endless night and cold. The sound, the boys heartbeat, rang out loudly like a dinner bell calling all of the hungry creatures of this place to the feast. It had finally found one it could work with, one that had enough enemies to keep it satisfied, but now he was on the wrong side of things and in danger of being taken away. The Wolvern began to run towards the sound, it knew there were much worse and older things than the dead here, things even it avoided, they too would be waking from long sleep and starting the hunt. It just hoped Seth could stay alive until it arrived.Seth had attempted to save his friends by hurling himself into the unknown of the Land of the dead, it was a place he only knew through lore and tales told to him as child. The land he arrived in was far from those tales and a much darker and more dangerous place. The sun never rose, the cold and the dark lurked with living intent and the things that lived here hungered for his life and flesh.Take the Darkness is the second book in the series Soldiers and Gods by Julius Schenk.
