Set in the same world as The Faithful and the Fallen series, Dread takes place one hundred years after the end of Wrath. The Banished Lands are experiencing a new era of peace, imposed often forcibly by the angelic Ben-Elim. But this peace is fragile, and something rotten lurks at its heart. Mankind are little more than pawns in a bigger game - and in the shadows, there are demons biding their time and waiting to strike . . .
