The air trembled. Malus felt the vibration against his skin. It shook with the din of battle, but no sound reached his ears. The highborn reached for his sword, taking some comfort in the familiar solidity of its hilt.

He could feel the presence of others around him -horses and men, moving past him, away from the nightmare they’d found in the far north.

The air quivered with silent screams.

Suddenly there were robed figures on either side of him. The Shades had stopped and he hadn’t realised it. Their gaze was focused on the road ahead. As Malus reined in his mount, he saw the horror they beheld.

An army of the dead stood astride the road, gleaming with the unearthly glow of the grave.

Enamelled armour shone in the pale, blue light, hanging on the skeletal frames of soldiers and horsemen. Some held spears and swords, while others held up grasping, claw-like hands. Points of cold blue light gleamed from the pits of their eyes, and their jaws gaped in silent cries of despair.

At their head stood a great prince, his armour enamelled in silver and gold. In his right hand he held a fearsome-looking sword, its length etched with runes of power. His left hand held a torn standard. Its ragged hem dripped with fresh blood.

“Who disturbs our rest?” The undead prince cried. His voice was a thin, keening whisper, like the sound of wind whistling over stone.
