      Spisovatel Richard Douek vám spolu s výtvarníkem Alexem Cormackem přináší brutální příběh o přežití. Čerpá z historie a ruského folkloru, ve kterém se nejhorší vězení na světě stává pouze bránou k ještě temnějším hrůzám. V roce 1953 jsou sibiřské gulagy v oblasti Kolymy peklem na Zemi. Takže když se Romanu Morozovovi naskytne příležitost k útěku, samozřejmě příliš neváhá. Jenže i když se Romanovi a jeho dvěma společníkům podaří utéct, pořád je od svobody dělí stovky kilometrů nehostinné, mrazivé tundry. Vydejte se spolu s Romanem, Grigorijem a Sergejem na pouť smrtící pustinou a položte si jednoduchou otázku: „Co bych udělal já?“ Douekův krajně znepokojivý příběh vás spolehlivě vyvede z komfortní zóny a doslova zmrazí veškeré vaše iluze.

      Horror, history, and Russian folklore collide in this brutal survival tale, where the worst prison in the world is merely the gateway to even darker terrors. In 1953, the Siberian Gulag of Kolyma is hell on Earth--which is why Roman Morozov leaps at the chance to escape it. But even if they make it out, Roman and his fellow escapees still have hundreds of miles of frozen tundra between them and freedom. With the help of a mysterious being straight out of his childhood fairy tale stories, Roman just might make it--or is the being simply a manifestation of the brutal circumstances driving him insane?
