The premise
In the early Middle Ages, two Christian knights set off to christen a small pagan village hidden deep in the mountains. Despite the differences in their views and perspectives on religion, the two men become travel companions and create a father-son relationship. As they settle into the local community, their faith, belief system and the bond between them are all put to the test. Soon, love is confronted with hate, dialogue with violence, madness with rules and many will have to die.
Horror Vault's take
Two Christian knights venture deep into a remote mountain wilderness on a mission to baptise an isolated pagan community, only to find that the old ways refuse to yield quietly. Vast differences in temperament and belief forge an uneasy but intimate bond between the two men — one that will be strained to breaking point by what they encounter. As zealotry meets ancient ritual, the line between righteous purpose and unravelling madness grows dangerously thin. This slow-burn medieval nightmare asks whether faith can survive contact with the world it seeks to conquer.
