Night Land
'Night Land' Summary
In the aftermath of a cosmic event that has extinguished the sun, the last remnants of humanity huddle in the Last Redoubt, a colossal pyramid of metal that offers a fragile sanctuary against the horrors that lie beyond. The darkness teems with monstrous creatures known as the Watchers, their origins and motives shrouded in mystery. The Redoubt's power source, the Earth Current, is waning, threatening to leave them vulnerable. When a desperate attempt to reach a lesser redoubt fails, the narrator, driven by a longing for a lost love, sets off alone into the unforgiving darkness. His journey is fraught with peril and punctuated by terrifying encounters with creatures both familiar and alien. He must confront the secrets that lie within the Night Land and uncover the truth about his own past, as well as the nature of the malevolent forces that seek to destroy all that remains of humanity.Book Details
