Something sinister is stirring deep in the forested mountains. Nearly nine moons have passed since Queen Valeria was awakened by the ill-fated expedition of adventurers who chanced upon her derelict stronghold. Nine moons since the handsome stranger whose life she spared gifted her with his seed, and now her belly swells with new life.

Meanwhile, the stranger has created a new life for himself in the remote frontier town he once passed through. As the town's lord mayor, he lives off the riches he brought with him while keeping silent about where and how he acquired such wealth, all while proving himself adept at seducing the wives and daughters of the townsfolk.

But discontent is stirring in the town. Murmurs about the usefulness and ultimate purpose of the defensive wooden stockade that the lord mayor ordered to be constructed, combined with rumors about his nightly sexual liaisons with their womenfolk, bring tensions to a boiling point. When a posse of armed men from the coastal cities arrives hunting for the stranger, tensions explode out into the open.

Caught between the rising rage of the townsfolk, the bounty hunters trying to bring him back as a fugitive, dead or alive, and the women who now bear the consequences of his lust for them, will the stranger escape with his life, freedom, and the secrecy of his identity and past intact?

Will any of it matter when a revenant evil is threatening to plunge the whole world into darkness once again?
