At his side is the stunning woman who leads the horned barbarians from the north, known as the oni. The Empire’s armies are limitless.

Three months have passed since Chris helped save what remained of Pine Lake.

The identity of the killer is a mystery, although his calling cards - brutally savaged corpses and a distinct, repulsive odor - are constants at each bloody murder scene.

With his previous situation resolved and two very attractive women now in his company, Chris takes on his next task: getting Delilah to her intended destination.

Vicious wildlife, dangerous men with ill intent, and brutal cold are just some of the potential threats Chris and the women will face on their long walk down the highway.
