As the sun sets, stone gargoyles and bronze statues tear away from their buildings and plinths to hunt people through the streets. Trapped in Mina's bell, the soul of a twisted and power-hungry Saint festered. Now free of his prison, he hides behind the face of one of Vaiwyn's citizens, corrupting the city and turning it on itself. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAs the death toll rises, the only chance Mina has to stop the destruction and horrific killings is finding and destroying the Saint's host.
