IT’S NOT THE DARK THAT KILLS YOU

You should go caving with people you trust.
You should respect others’ discoveries.
You must be careful and think before acting.
You need to be prepared in case something goes wrong.

Nasha is an enthusiastic but inexperienced cave photographer, dreaming of participating in a major discovery underground. Her chance appears when, along with a team of quarrelsome cavers, she comes across an unexplored shaft in a Welsh cave. They make a hasty plan to descend in order to beat anyone else who might have similar ideas. But the weather is turning nasty, the virgin cave is going to be hazardous and the team may not be the first ones in after all.

Things will go wrong.

DARE TALVITIE is a Finnish writer and adventure sports enthusiast.
