A Lament in Silver and Shadow

In the aftermath of the Great War, the shattered Forces of Darkness scattered to the four corners of the world. Ten years later, these remnants of the Dark Gods’ servants plague the lives of common people trying to rebuild their shattered homes. The victorious Armies of Light have long since disbanded, fracturing into their constituent kingdoms that lacked the manpower or the will to pursue these remaining pockets of darkness that still harass innocents on the edges of civilisation. Hunting down these remnants has fallen to those called the Hunters, who many common folk say have become as savage as those they pursue. However, they are always welcome in times of need and reviled when the job is done. This story follows one such Hunter, Brandon of the South Downs, as he arrives in a remote town to investigate a mysterious shriek in the night that is plaguing its inhabitants.
