Written Backwards' Allevon series of illustrated trade paperbacks continues with ARTIFACTS, a short novel by Darren Speegle, featuring the artwork of L.A. Spooner, and an introduction by Gene O'Neill. In a far future Europe, following a four-thousand-year Dark Age, of which man retains little record or memory, a scroll is found in a train car deep within the snow and ice of Scandinavia, buried since the cataclysmic end of the First Age. The document, which contains a cryptic message meant for the world before it died, finds its way into the hands of Rein, an outpost bar hand who journeys across the continent seeking the relic's translation.
