Our favorite blacksmith, Gioncavallo, has so far managed to survive a series of challenges which include demonic attacks and an infested village. However, he now has to face his hardest challenge yet; not falling in love with the pretty witch Viviana that accompanies him in his travels. Working for the genius but crazy inventor Sir Pasquale Coppo da Casa Irta means running his errands, so Gioncavallo has to do things like buying metal, leather, and dealing with an anguished ghost while navigating the confusing corridors of his dream visions.

But the future looks grim as dark powers move in the shadows. Will the plans laid by his demonic enemies come to fruition? And how will the resentful Lord Emanuele manipulate his pawns against the blacksmith? This second installment of Gioncavallo's adventures promises to deliver more of his exploits, while the malevolent forces around him stir and prepare to strike.
