Description
Don't miss this original Diablo short story collection featuring horrifying tales from across Sanctuary, where the line between heroism and tragedy is razor-thin, and the price of failure is paid in blood.
From the slums of Kingsport to the shores of the Cold Isles, the belching sewers of Khanduran holdfasts to a crumbling castle on the moors of Scosglen, Hell takes root in its varied forms. But a warning is offered to those who would challenge it: Evil endures defeat, death, and time. Lose vigilance for but a moment, and it will return to claim what it is owed.
From the Diablo development team and some of the darkest minds in modern horror comes this testament to the relentless march of evil, and the sacrifice it takes to earn even a moment's reprieve. The Shadows of Sanctuary is a chilling reminder that even the bravest intentions can lead to tragic ends.
