*The 17th century. Kingdoms clash, yet nightmares stalk the land: werewolves, witches, vampires. In Anagalis, King’s knights purge the wicked. Walter leads them.* *A gloomy eve. Walter, reckless, chases a ghoul on a black steed, leaving his men. Disaster strikes: the horse stumbles, they tumble down a cliff. Walter lies broken, unconscious.* *He wakes in a hut, pain flaring. Herbs scent the air. By the fire, a young man stirs a cauldron, drinking. Walter sees bandages on his chest. His sword rests nearby. He reaches for it.*
