In 1879 Europe will change forever. Something is rising in the east and it will consume everything in its path. Captain Charles Hayward could be our last hope.

The story begins in 1879, following a group of Royal Engineers based in a small fort in the Carpathian Mountains. Whilst assisting Austrian Engineers the fort comes under attack from a super-pack of wolves. It ends as quickly as it began, leaving many unanswered questions. The inhabitants of the fort use this window to escape, but find farms abandoned, villages empty and a strange silence. This changes at the Uzhok pass where the soldiers encounter something very different. Captain Hayward will now play his part in the cat and mouse retreat and where Europe will fight for her very survival.
