At the front of Hitler's invading force is Hans Vogel: fighter pilot, ace, and recipient of the the Iron Cross medal. On a routine raid, Hans is shot down and killed and finds himself in the mysterious Marchenwald, the world of the fairy-tales. Marchenwald has been transformed by the war Hans left behind and taken over by the malevolent and cruel Erlking, a monster who traps people within a sinister web of Stories. Forced to confront the consequences of the evil he served, Hans finds himself faced with a choice: give in to the same evil a second time, or try and make things right.
