Haunted by the blood-soaked battlefields of his past – where steel and shot left him a hollow shell— -he now wields the Malleus Maleficarum as both shield and sword, purging the town’s hidden coven in the name of divine justice. At his side walks Beatrix, his devoted daughter, her mismatched eyes – one blue and innocent, the other cursed with an unnatural, roving gaze – piercing the veil between the seen and the unseen. Together, they unravel a web of ancient pacts, whispered runes, and forbidden rites that threaten to consume the village… and their own souls. But as accusations ignite and flames rise higher, Hannes confronts a deeper terror: the demons may not lurk in the witches he hunts, but in the unhealed wounds of his own heart.
