A grim, solitary meditation on grief and vengeance set in a dark medieval fantasy world, where a warrior's obsessive hunt for his daughter's killer becomes a descent into something far more terrible.

On the outskirts of a kingdom, a quiet but fierce medieval warrior protects the realm from monsters and the occult. His gruesome collection of heads is missing only one - the monster that killed his daughter years ago. Driven by a thirst for revenge, he travels wild expanses on horseback. When his second chance arrives, it’s in a way far more horrifying than he ever imagined.
