Synopsis

Twelve years after the demon war, the Forest Kingdom is still recovering from the long night of the Blue Moon. Chaos has left dangerous, divisive beliefs behind and King Harald has been assassinated. Rival factions scheme for power, and brave men who enter the Inverted Cathedral fall into madness. The kingdom's hope rests on Prince Rupert and Princess Julia, now known as Hawk and Fisher, tough guard captains in Haven, a town where virtue turns to vice and good causes fail. Looking for a new challenge, they return to the land that still haunts them just as the Blue Moon threatens to rise again.
