To Skyrim, he is Alvar Battle-Born-a son of Whiterun's proudest clan, a master hunter, and an undisputed tracker of the wild. To the shadows, he is something far deadlier.
Operating as a silent assassin for the Dark Brotherhood, Alvar lives a dangerous double life. But when a routine contract draws him deep into the mist-shrouded swamps of Morthal, he encounters a threat that defies the laws of mortal steel.
Ambushed in the dead of night by a ruthless squad of bandits, Alvar relies on his lethal Brotherhood training to cut them down-only to witness a horrifying truth. These were no ordinary men. As his blade draws blood, the attackers disintegrate into heaps of glowing, lifeless ash. They are thralls, conjured from dark blood magic and bound to a master hiding within the dense, unnatural fog.
Realizing a sinister force is gathering power in Hjaalmarch, Alvar must navigate a web of secrets, ancient vampire covens, and dark sorcery. In a land where the mist eats the light and the dead walk as puppets, an assassin must become the predator before the fog swallows Skyrim whole.
