A dark fantasy about a young orphan trapped in a sorcerer's mill during wartime, where friendship and love become weapons against supernatural evil.

A 14-year-old orphan named Krabat flees the horrors of the 30 Years War by becoming an apprentice to an ominous master of a mysterious mill. Krabat is not only taught the craft of milling, but is also instructed in the sinister world of the darker arts.
