Description

In a realm of living oaks and ancient magic, the valiant champion Druga finally confronts the dreaded sorceress Queen Dionaea. With the aid of his beloved Feronia, a benevolent witch, he swings his sword to end her reign of terror—only to watch the blade turn crimson as the queen’s head falls, and a strange serpent named Baena intervenes in a way no one expected. The creature’s desperate act of self‑sacrifice binds its life‑force to the queen’s, hinting at a dark, uneasy truce that could reshape the balance of power.

Now, with Dionaea’s mind flickering back to consciousness and Baena torn between snake instincts and newfound purpose, the once‑defeated evil begins to plot a revenge that could engulf the whole kingdom. Druga and Feronia, unaware that their greatest foe may still be at large, must navigate a world where old grudges and fresh mysteries intertwine, setting the stage for a perilous adventure that will test their courage and loyalty.
