A fallen man...A fallen world...One light that shines in the darkness.
After an ambush goes terribly wrong, the robber Winthrop and his adoptive son David are placed under arrest by a mysterious black knight. Styling himself "Sir Judas," the knight claims to be the last survivor of the order of paladins, the holy warriors who fell when the Grand Empire was destroyed. Moreover, he claims another paladin survives as well; his master, captured by the demoniac giant who conquered the Empire forty years ago. Caught up in Sir Judas's daring quest, Winthrop and David must contend with witches, sorcerers, and terrifying powers of darkness...not least of which, the demons lurking in their own past.
