You’re an interdimensional rescue worker.
A Bleed Zone has erupted in the mountains of Oregon. You’ve followed the haze to the top of a valley. You’re traveling a road at the valley’s rim, but the road is old, and it’s collapsing.
The landscape is filled with a tangle of old wooden trestles—from forgotten mines and abandoned railroads. You can hardly see them in the dark, but you can hear them creaking.
Monsters have come to these mountains. Tall creatures, thin, and savage. Lifeforms with wings and claws and no interest in peace. Lifeforms that look like human-sized mantis-dragons.
Creatures that don’t speak.
Creatures that don’t hold still. Creatures that plan.
..
And that attack in large numbers.
Surprisingly, your teammate Skyde has met a young mother in these woods. The young woman is desperate. She’s traveling alone. The monsters have stolen her baby and allowed her no choice but to follow them into the wilderness.
She needed help, and now she has you.
You wish you could believe in happy endings.
This is a novel-sized Bleed Zone mission. The action never lets up. It’s grim, for sure, but don’t lose hope. You’re traveling with the Thrill Kings.
