Description

A lone traveller moves through a moon‑lit valley, the night air thick with the scent of smoke and the echo of distant cries. He discovers a ravaged girl, barely alive after a savage raid by a ruthless warlord known as Le Loup. With a gentle hand he steadies her, his own blade stained with her blood, and vows silently that those responsible will pay. The scene sets a grim, unforgiving landscape where mercy is scarce and danger lurks behind every tree.

Word of the wanderer spreads among the bandits, who gather around a crude table to plot their next move. They speak of Solomon Kane, a grim English swordsman who haunts their raids like a wolf stalking its prey. Their leader, a predator named Le Loup, scoffs at the notion of a holy avenger, yet a lingering unease suggests the hunter may be more relentless than they realize. The tension between hunter and hunted promises a dark, relentless pursuit through treacherous wilderness.
