As the enemy’s net begins to tighten, they find evidence of massacres, of a dark and terrible band of men pursuing themAs they stumble their way towards a final, tragic battle, so the relationships within the group begin to fray, with Tom finding himself forced to face up to his deepest, most secret desires.
