There wasn't anything special about Ivan. He didn't train to be a knight, learn spells or know anything about the ancient art of healing. He took care of the dogs and slept in the kennels. Then a knight came to Belgorod Holding, a warrior that none dared face. The knight had hidden magic, brutal henchmen and the secret aid of a witch. With a letter from the king, he also had the right to hire farmers to help him search the forest for old treasure. That treasure was a scourge and a plague to the world. In it laid one of the Dark Gods and several of the evilest weapons ever forged. Ivan wasn't anything special, but he had his dogs and he had his heart, and he would do everything he could to save his family and friends from the ancient Lord of Bats.
