C'est décembre 1944 et l'Europe est toujours prise par la guerre. Dans les montagnes densément boisés de la Belgique l'un des combats les plus brutaux du conflit fait rage. Un groupe hétéroclite de jeunes soldats britanniques et américains se retrouve pourchassés par une patrouille de l'élite des forces spéciales allemandes, parmi eux un agent nouvellement mis en service appelé Kreuz - un adolescent qui va grandir pour devenir le directeur Cross ( redoutable directeur qui régnera un jour au pénitencier de la Fournaise, la prison souterraine et terrifiante spécialement construit pour les délinquants de l'adolescence ). Les deux côtés se battent pour leur vie dans le terrain impitoyable, cependant, ils commencent à réaliser qu'il y a des bien choses pires qui se cachent dans la neige que les soldats. Il y a des créatures là-bas avec des masques à gaz et des yeux porcins (ancêtres des "Panteleurs" de la prison de Fournaise) - entités démoniaques qui ne peuvent pas être tués par des fusils et des grenades, des monstres qui ne se soucient pas des uniformes que leurs victimes portent tant qu'ils saignent, et tant qu'ils crient. . .
L'épilogue de la saga de ESCAPE FROM FURNACE par Alexander Gordon Smith.
From the author of the Escape from Furnace series, an explosive new horror trilogy about an ordinary American kid caught up in an invisible war against the very worst enemy imaginable.
There is a machine from the darkest parts of history, concealed in an impossible location, that can make any wish come true, and the only price you have to pay is your soul. Known as the Devil’s Engine, this device powers a brutal war between good and evil that will decide the fate of every living thing on Earth. When a 16-year-old asthmatic kid named Marlow Green unwittingly rescues an ass-kicking secret soldier from a demonic attack in the middle of his Staten Island neighborhood, he finds himself following her into a centuries-old conflict between a group of mysterious protectors and the legions of the Devil himself. Faced with superpowers, monsters, machine guns, and a lot worse, Marlow knows it's going to be a breathless ride—and not just because he’s lost his inhaler along the way.
