Battletome: Nighthaunt

A new indomitable malevolence has awakened an ancient terror. No longer content to hunt at the edges of civilization, ghostly forces gather into spectral armies. This is not a mere ghost, but a shocking assault that seeks nothing less than to destroy life itself. From the darkest pits of Shyish, the Realm of Death, comes a storm of ethereal figures. These wraiths fight to send fresh souls to the dark realms from which the dead emerged, cruelly reveling in the torments that await their victims below...
