Publisher's blurb: Roads are the lifeblood of the world, but this one, an old merchant route through many towns, has for years uncounted been plagued with evil. The towns have disappeared and the castles which once served to guard it have been abandoned. Nobody goes this way anymore. Tales say it leads on through fen and forest, swamp and death. If you could be the first to survive this road, surely along the way you will amass great fame and fortune . . .
