What would you sacrifice to save the people you love? When a monstrous horde descends upon his city, turning familiar streets into a slaughterhouse, night watchman Vandrin has only one thought: find his wife and daughter before the darkness claims them. As terror spreads through rain-soaked alleys and desperate citizens flee for their lives, Vandrin reunites with his family and joins the desperate rush toward the docks-their last hope of escape. But every step brings new horrors, and the city he swore to protect is dying around him. Torn between duty and blood, Vandrin faces an impossible choice. Abandon the helpless to save his family, or risk everything to defend a city already on the brink of destruction. In his hands rests an ancient sword, a forgotten heirloom passed down through generations. Against all reason, its blade cuts through the creatures stalking the night with deadly ease. As the darkness closes in, Vandrin begins to suspect that both the sword and his family's fate are bound to a secret older than the city itself. Can one man stand against a tide of monsters? Or will the night take everything he holds dear?
