Evil appeared in a country that once swore to “live by the law of God and man,” but began to live by the law of greed and hatred. Evil appeared in human form—in the guise of the Man of Many Faces. A person who knows exactly HOW to influence each of those he meets on his terrible Path. For the dark abyss of hatred, envy and lust is the human soul. The soul of everyone except the One whom the Many-Faced One seeks. Except for the child, whose name is Svan. Svan will die - and the coming Nightmare cannot be stopped. Who will stand on the mortal path of Darkness?..
