Gallion, a young alchemist, is a fugitive living with a death mark. Paladins, holy knights in the service of the Grand Master, hunt for him like bloodthirsty hounds. As he travels north in the company of bounty-hunters, Gallion does not know that his persecutors are aware of his plans and are setting a trap for him.
Meanwhile, an epic battle for the fate of the world is about to commence. The Master Alchemist, ruler of darkness, is resurrecting his demonic servants, sensing that the time has come to free himself and take revenge on all who have imprisoned him in a magical mirror. At the heart of his diabolic plan is a young man whom he helped to escape from a dungeon, a little girl who has sold him her soul, and a dead child called Lucien.
