THE LEGEND THE DARK OF MOUNTAIN

Sasseneire is a pasture, high in the mountains, abandoned by the villagers for the past twenty years because of a dark tale, which still haunts the elderly. Why should rumours of a deadly curse let such rich grassland go to waste when the parish is so poor ?

Placed under quarantine, the mountain men are held prisoners of the threatening ice cap. Everything comes to a head?
