To see the evil dead is a curse... It begins with the Roman exploratore Stasius Tenebris and the Calicem Tenebris (the Dark Chalice) - a vessel of evil that is brought back to life years later by Ethan Chance, a young man who was cruelly blinded by falling into an ancient Roman well when he was nine. Was it an accident or did the spirits in the well choose Ethan for a reason? ...the Calicem Tenebris restores his sight but at a price. This is the story of the chalice and the village called Darwell and the dark fate awaiting its inhabitants at the Festival of Healing. Can Ethan, his friends and a knight from the Crusades save the day or is Darwell doomed to forever serve those who worship Mars, the Roman God of War.
