In 1645, as war rages and winter bites deep, the Holy Roman Empire faces monsters, both human and demonic.
The Thirty Years' War tears Europe apart, leaving famine, bloodshed, and despair in its wake. Gustav, once a rising apprentice of the Feldsher Guild, has been cast out-disgraced, hunted, and fighting to survive.
Together with his mentor, Martin, he faces a bitter winter where death stalks not only the battlefield but every snow-covered street. Wolves roam the countryside, food is all but gone, and whispers of "accidents" hint at something far more sinister.
But their enemies are closer than they think. Gustav and Martin are no longer just healers; they're hunters in a war against a darkness few dare to name. With lives hanging in the balance, Gustav must navigate a dangerous web of political scheming, supernatural forces, and the harsh realities of a crumbling world. But will his courage and cunning be enough to survive both the winter and the deadly truths waiting to be uncovered?
