Therein begins a struggle between good and evil; one that will pit the church against the state, and brother against brother.

One of the boys will traverse the world but still return home, while the other will be a strong but corrupt nobleman. One girl will go against the might of the medieval church, while the other will desperately chase after an impossible love.
Through it all, they will continuously be haunted by the inexplicable killing witnessed during that unfortunate day in their childhood.
