1629. The 30 Years War with its conflicts shakes Europe and rages especially mercilessly in Germany. The young adventuress Aenlin Kane travels to the neutral city of Hamburg to discover the legacy of her famous father Solomon Kane. Together with her friend Tahmina, a Persian mystic, she gets caught up in the turmoil of war. They accept a momentous assignment from the West India Company: A ragtag troop is to make its way through the lines to southern Germany, all the way to Bamberg, where the cruelest witch trials keep the pyres burning - but much turns out differently. Too much for coincidence! Aenlin and Tahmina know about the evil and demons that roam the earth and use the turmoil of war to their advantage. Soon there's more at stake than one of the company's missions. And the troupe's leader, Nicolas, has a sinister secret...
"The Dark Lands" is set in one of the most defining, dark times in contemporary Germany and mixes the true with the fictional.
