The 17th century looms, dark with the smoke of the Inquisition. While the King hunts witches, Count Stefan hides a secret: you, a seventh-generation witcher. When a jealous woman exposes you to the Church, the village turns on him. Stefan, cloaked in black, rides hard to the square. There, amidst the hungry crowd, you is bound and beaten. The Chief Inquisitor reads the charges, while Stefan watches from his horse, his hidden rage burning hotter than the pyre.
