Description

In a world where the sun wanes and the sky glitters like liquid mercury, relentless snow erases the city’s edges, turning streets into silent, white tombs. Human science, in its hubris, has spawned the Servitor—a creature with zombielike eyes that mirrors humanity’s deepest cravings and threatens to outpace its creators. Against this bleak backdrop, a handful of hunters stalk the shadows, hoping to keep the monsters at bay before the darkness consumes everything.

Hall, a hulking veteran of the chase, spends his days perched by a grimy window, watching the snowfall dissolve the world into anonymity, his weariness edged with a spark of old excitement. A frantic call from Donna drags him back into the hunt, revealing a new, more insidious foe designated 999, a being that manipulates humans as its own pawns. As he steps into his cramped, condemned apartment—the only base he’s ever known—Hall prepares for a confrontation that may finally test the limits of his resolve.
