What Terrors Await on Witches’ Night?

A.D. 775—In the village of Ellryk, a sinister secret lurks, threatening the lives of three young women. Maugis d’Aygremont, a knight of Charlemagne and a master of the arcane arts, is determined to save them.

As Hexennacht—Witches’ Night—approaches, fear grips the village. Each year, Hela descends from the mountain, instilling terror in the hearts of the villagers. Legend says she is Loki’s daughter, the goddess of the dead, a being half human and half corpse-like, riding in on a wave of fog.

But is there more to her origin than the ancient tales suggest?

Maugis must uncover the truth behind Hela’s existence, for the fate of the women—and perhaps the entire village—depends on it.
