Creatures of Darkness

1635. Iceland is still a medieval world, ruled by superstition, poverty, and cruelty. Scholars are trying to unravel the secrets of unicorns, ordinary people secretly worship the Virgin Mary, the dead walk the earth, and unwanted books can easily be... sent to the bonfire. In such a world lives Jounas Paulmason, a poet, healer, and scholar, condemned to exile for heretical teachings and disputes with local authorities. In exile on a desolate island, he recalls how he once fought a living corpse possessed by a demon, how he witnessed local residents committing a real massacre against innocent Basque sailors, and how his three children died. But on this land, one can still encounter many wonders, real monsters dwell in these waters, and the power of the creatures of darkness is closer than ever. And Jounas awaits many surprises on his thorny path.
