​
From what? Ivan knows the mountain is a most-awful place. A monster dwells there, protected by the flesh-eating ghouls.
​
Ivan's life hangs in the balance when he is attacked by the ghoul's vicious leader. Though his recovery is long and painful, he is cared for by his beloved brother and new girlfriend. Their relationship looks promising.
