The warg's slender thews worked as they could to pull itself backwards in a panic over the ice. I was upon it while its dark paws slid and slipped for a second too long. My spearhead flashed and the sharp bronze blade cut across its side, and opened the patchy coat. A steaming red mess spilled onto the ice and its frantic eyes went dark. Panting over the slain, I gulped air heavily. Maybe this place is just revealing my true self — who I have been all along. . . . The heat of the sprint and the sudden movement hit me all at once and I swayed where I stood as [Vigour] wore off a third time, and the aftereffects of the other Skills vibrated through my blood. Triumphant, I pointed my spear to the sky and roared out the truth that overcame my brain: “I AM ALIVE!” Join brave — and slightly foolhardy — Talbot as he discovers the savage New World of Barbican, where dark fantasy meets grit and power is earned one death-defying trial at a time.
