What if, when you became an adult, you discovered they were all based on fact? What if you met the fantasy and it was all so very real? That's what happened to Thom Kindred. The wonders were revealed to him – but so were the horrors; for not far behind the Good, there always lurks the Bad.

Um meine kleine Familie zu retten, muss ich regelmäßig in den Verbotenen Wald gehen. Als mich eines Tages Nyfain, der unheimliche Prinz unseres Königreiches, im Verbotenen Wald erwischt, bestraft er mich nicht mit dem Tod, obwohl das sein Recht wäre. Stattdessen verschleppt er mich auf sein Schloss. Anscheinend kann ich ihn retten. Ihn und das ganze verdammte Königreich. Aber dafür müsste ich das Biest in ihm zähmen. Und das würde bedeuten, ihm alles von mir zu geben, was er verlangt.

Aujourd'hui, plus que jamais, je dois aider Ezryn, le Prince du Printemps, à reprendre son trône.

He now yearns for nothing more than dissolution, to lose himself in strong wine, reckless gambling, and in the arms of countless beautiful women.

Wander through visions of the most terrible of angels, the Seven who would undo the world. Venture through Hell and back, and lands more terrestrial and darker still. Linger a while in childhoods, and seasons of change by turns tragic and monstrously transformative. Lose yourself amongst the haunted and those who can't let go, in relationships that might have been and never were. Witness in dreams and reflections, hungers and horrors, the shadows cast upon the wall, and linger in forests deep.

But the Warlock slaying in question turns out to be only the first in a series of homicides, because someone - or something - is picking off Supes like insects.
