Synopsis

In the Far Isles, a brutal witch-hunting frenzy orchestrated by the Inquisitorum has gripped the kingdom, leading to widespread persecution and executions. Beorn, a solitary woodcutter, has always lived by a strict code of non-involvement, staying far from the escalating violence. However, when a young witch is condemned to the pyre, the sight awakens old ghosts within him, forcing him to break his lifelong rule. This act propels him into a perilous adventure across the kingdom, where he must confront formidable foes and challenge his own deeply held beliefs.
