Summary As winter grows stronger, the dead have begun rising from their graves, lusting for the blood of the living. Tomas, once a proud warrior but now an old drunkard, has some knowledge of what is happening, and he possesses an object of importance in the battle, but since Peter’s birth Tomas has been fleeing from the truth. When Agnes is forced to participate in a Wedding of the Dead, Peter tries to protect her, but he needs Sofia’s help to understand exactly what he is up against.
