A disgraced captain is given command of a watchtower in the corner of a realm to be forgotten. Through a series of events the guard discover an ornate tomb below the keep, as well as powerful wards designed to keep something in.

I feel this would have been a lot better as a full novel with a more fleshed out story. The recurring theme of deeds done in the past is an excellent one that drives interest in the characters but there is only so much you can do with 133 pages.

It suffers from more than a few cliches towards the end but this part whodunit part monster horror novella is worth the read.
