The Village is all Sage has ever known. In their worst nightmares, they never dreamed they'd find themselves trapped outside. And the nightmare is about to get even more frightening.

A priestess with a pure, holy aura, who knows more about the monster than Sage thought possible. Her guiding light might be the only thing to keep Sage from falling into the darkness.

The nightmare. The dark. The monster.
