Background Story
Deep within the misty forests of East Anglia lies England’s last patch of herbal land untouched by the Church. Eighteen-year-old Isolde is the guardian of these woods, a herbal witch who can hear the rhythmic heartbeat of the plants. As her copper cauldron simmers with herbs meant to cure the plague and the stream water flows over her bare feet, the sudden clank of armor echoes behind her. It is Gavin, a Templar Knight sent by the Church to purge the witches. His sword is leveled at her throat, but the moment his fingertips brush the steam from her brew, an unprecedented whisper resonates in his ear: "She is your destiny."
