Only the bold dare enter the Gnarlwood, a deadly forest where the very trees uproot themselves to feast upon the flesh of living. The Horns of Hashut are relentless destroyers who worship a fiery deity of tyranny and cruelty. Their god has tasked them with razing the Gnarlwood to the ground, and they will see this done or die in the attempt. Yet first they must reckon with the Rotmire Creed, a deranged cult of plague-alchemists who aim to drown the Ravening Ruin of Talaxis in a tide of filth. These warbands wage a merciless war for every scrap of territory, laying waste to their foes and spreading their own influence through dark rituals and rites of desecration.
