To Brave the Prevailing Dark Thomas E Padgett

It is the year 1867 and the Brotherhood of Enoch has seen better days... Caleb MedicineWolf is dying. British lord, and conjuror of demons, Strom DeLaCroix, has escaped. Arcane forces, lurking within the shadows, continue to quietly consolidate strength. And a powerful relic, buried in the sand beneath a long forgotten temple, waits to be unleashed. The darkness gathers... Beyond a mist-cloaked and eldritch Scandinavian town lies an ancient secret. It is a secret spoken of only in hushed tones and cautious whispers. Whispers that tell the legend of hidden knowledge concealed within the trees. Knowledge that may be granted to one strong enough, and willing enough, to make the required blood sacrifice. It is a price that Strom DeLaCroix's estranged son, Garrett, knows he must pay. But to reach it, he will first have to get past the deformed and shambling denizens of the shrouded town that bars his path. The darkness draws near... From a haunted forest in the frozen Arctic Circle to hidden canyons deep within the barren wastelands of an inhospitable desert and beyond, Garrett and his friends will search for answers and ultimately meet their destinies at America's northern limit. Swords will slash, a web of conspiracy will unravel, and blood will spill. Will Garrett and the Brotherhood bring the darkness to bear or will they falter? And, at the end of the road, will they expose something far more insidious lying in wait? For, at the fringes of the light, the ever-present darkness begins to close in...
