In one of those corners of Europe forever being trodden on by armies passing, invading or defending, is Narutsin. We're in the 1700s and Silesia is anxious the noises from next door in Prussia, about their disapproval of disputed territory being ruled by a female, will lead to an invasion, so they have sent two hundred men to shore up the border. Passing Narutsin on their way to billet at a most rundown country mansion they find the village to be quite odd – too many people for a regular Wednesday huddling in the church, and clearly a secret is being kept from them. But don't forget, travelling armies can travel with secrets too. This one comes with a bullish quartermaster to cater for them, and his floozie Drozde, who can converse with ghosts. But when she enters the mansion for the first time, even she is surprised that the formless spectres there are able to speak back to her – and nobody much is going to like what they have to say…
