title: Strangers with the Eyes of Men
author: Wingfield, Robert
description: A contemporary Gothic tale of horror, blood, sex and corruption. Ankerita sacrificed herself, saving the life of her friend, but a promise she made to an enchantress from the sixteenth century hauls her back. The world she returns to has changed. Strangers from pre-history are waking to resume their age-old battles, and the specter of the Nazis rises again. Ankerita is thrown into a power struggle between two primal factions, and is forced to use her arcane links to petition for aid. Together with a Dark Ages chieftain, she descends into Limbo to rescue the witch, but unwittingly release an evil, supposed to be held there for eternity. And now, the execution bell adds its terrible call, awakening more of the ancient Strangers with the Eyes of Men from their millennia of idleness.
