Val, an American heavy metal
fanatic, is on her dream vacation: attending the Inferno Metal
Festival in Oslo, Norway. There she meets a charismatic young band,
who take her out to a remote forest to show her the local “haunts.”
Taken by their charm and oblivious to the danger, Val is drugged,
beaten, and left for dead...
But her story is far from
over.
She wakes at dawn, haunted
by a vision of rain falling from a wolf’s jowls. Stumbling back to
Oslo, she finds that the festival has already ended — 13 years
ago.
The world has moved on and
the men who brutalized her are long gone, but when moss and roots
begin to sprout from her skin... she realizes that everything has
changed. Everything except her desire for revenge, that
is.
In nature, there are gods
older than man, and something ancient, something… hungry, has
awakened powers in her that will guide her rage as she seeks to
exact justice on those that wronged her.
Writer Brian Azzarello and Vanesa Del Rey deliver a
bloodsoaked feminist revenge saga, blending Norse mythology and
eco-horror into a boundary-pushing cocktail of metal, magic, and
murder!
