Dark days have come to the lands of the County of Fernandez: the Count is gravely ill, and his condition is being hidden from the eyes of the nobility and the common people. The Countess, lacking sufficient authority to manage the county's affairs, finds herself in an extremely difficult position. The situation is further complicated by the assassination attempt on the Countess and the kidnapping of her daughter. This forces the Countess to increase security and enlist the service of the most skilled specialists.
After many years spent in battles, Manuel Vermonda decides to renounce the sword and start a new life in seclusion, dedicating himself to drawing and reading books.
By the will of fate, Manuel receives a letter inviting him to enter the service of Countess Fernandez. After long deliberations, Manuel hears a mysterious voice promising redemption for all sins if he agrees to take on this task.
