It starts when a strange ship docks in the village harbor. That night an old man falls ill…then the bakers wife…then a street urchin. By morning half the townspeople are dead and more are dyinghorribly. And no one in town has a clue how to stop it. Not the local priest. Not the rich baron or his powerful knight.
