That which feasts in the night. Book 2. The sworn soldier

After the horrors at the Usher estate, Alex Easton only wanted to relax and live a measured life in Paris. Instead, together with the orderly Angus, he had to go to the family hunting lodge in the cold gray forests of his native Gallatia. And all for the sake of satisfying the research curiosity of their friend, amateur mycologist Eugenia Potter. It would seem that here, among the untouched nature, you can also have a good rest. But upon arrival, they discover that the house is abandoned, and its caretaker has died. The local villagers are sure that a monster from legends has settled in Easton's house, which steals his breath. Of course, the Gallatians are too superstitious, but something really does not let them sleep peacefully in this dead silence that reigns around...
