He has only one duty: to protect the fort. Ever since he could remember, the Knight Caindel has been earnestly defending the fort, until one day a girl took up residence in the fort and began to upset his destiny. While the two develop a strange friendship, the footsteps of a mysterious army, the "Demon Army," are quietly approaching from the border.

The predecessor to "The Witch and the Beast"

Ashaf: a soft-spoken man with delicate features, a coffin strapped to his back, and an entourage of black crows. Guideau: a feral, violent girl with long fangs and the eyes of a beast. This ominous pair appear one day in a town in thrall to a witch — a ruler with magic coursing through her tattooed body, who has convinced the townsfolk she’s their hero. But Ashaf and Guideau know better. They live by one creed: “Wherever a witch goes, only curses and disasters follow.” They have scores to settle, and they won’t hesitate to remove anyone in their way, be it angry mob or army garrison.
