Dark eons ago, the Earth had other owners, and humanity's possession was won only after titanic battles waged by heroes alongside whom all but a few present day mortals would be insubstantial shadows. But no victory is final, and ancient gods and demons still jealously lurk outside the space and time we know, waiting to reclaim that which was taken from them.

Yet heroes still live who have the courage to face the most terrifying powers of darkness: drowned men who refuse to stay dead, men who transform themselves into killer wolves, demons summoned from other realms of existence by the blackest sorcery, and the evil gods themselves. Heroes who face dangers beside which mere death is a triviality - and yet fight on with a valor fully equal to that of the titans who strove against darkness at the dawn of time!
