In the commune outside live the savages, shunned and detested by the city folk. But they have recently been visited by a man, charismatic and handsome, who may yet be their saviour - or their doom.
Two different sides, ready for conflict. But neither realises that a third force threatens their very existence...

The Chimes Of Midnight (Limited Edition Vinyl)
