"Grab an axe and defend the gate! Your despair is an extravagance we can ill afford." -Thalia, Knight-Cathar

Terror falls from the skies on blood-spattered wings, and nameless horrors lurk in the shadows. These pages, lavishly illustrated with the award-winning art of Magic: The GatheringT, are your entry into a world beset by terrible evils on all sides and betrayed by the hope it held most dear. Tread lightly as you follow the heroic Planeswalkers of the Gatewatch as they investigate these dark mysteries, for the nightmare they will uncover is a threat to the whole Multiverse.

The mysteries of Innistrad-its peoples, provinces, and monsters-await your arrival. But be careful as you peer into the darkness, for you might find something staring back.
