Sam Vimes is an evading guy.
He was a duke, a police chief, and the ambassador of Uberworld, the enigmatic, obese nation, yesterday.
He was down to his natural wit and Uncle Vanya's dark pants now (don't ask). Snow is falling. It's quite cold. And there will be a horrible conflict if he is unable to cross the wilderness and reach civilization.
However, creatures are pursuing him. They're intelligent. They're quick. They are werewolves, and they are not far behind. Time, luck, and air are all running out for Sam Vimes.
