Cursed men held tight in the icy grip of Morosko, the merciless frost god who feeds on their souls. But Atomika will tolerate no other deity in his kingdom. He comes for Morosko, and there on the barren tundra these two titans clash. While, far away, the Gologšs prisoners watch, praying for salvation...or death."
