Summary
Annja Creed jumps at the chance to join
a fellow archaeologist on a quest to find a relic. But she's
not so thrilled about northern Siberia, where they are hoping
to discover something buried in the long-undisturbed soil of
Russia's frozen terrain. When they reach the town of Jakutsk,
Annja is put off by its gray landscape and highly superstitious
inhabitants. They claim they are being hunted. Then one of the
villagers goes missing.The locals blame the Khosadam, a ghost
of a fallen goddess said to ingest the souls of the departed.
But there are no fresh graves. She is now hunting the living.
When Annja seeks to destroy the apparition, she discovers an
even more horrifying truth—and may have hit a dead end.
