A new and uncontrollable malice has awakened an ancient terror. No longer satisfied with wandering the edges of civilization, the spectral hordes gather in ethereal armies. These are not mere hunts, but mass assaults aimed at destroying life itself. From the dark pits of Shyish, the Realm of Death, comes a storm of incorporeal figures, specters fighting to send fresh souls to the darkest realms from which the dead emerge, taking cruel pleasure in knowing the torments that await the victims…
