Welcome to the year 1618:
The Holy Roman Empire is shaken to its foundations. The church is deeply divided with the rise of Protestantism, the Black Plague ravages the continent again and again, the beginning of the Little Ice Age causes many storms and leads to dramatic famines. In these dark times, human cruelty reaches its climax in the flaring persecution of witches.
The hermit Margaretha, who lives in the Elz Valley as a herbalist and healer, suddenly experiences this cruelty first-hand when she is accused of witchcraft one day and burnt at the stake. Even though the people of the Elz Valley often asked for her help, they always treated her with the greatest suspicion and spoke ill of her among themselves. And now there is a witness who claims to have seen how this same Margaretha summoned the devil herself on the heights of the Kandel and tried to combine her demonic powers to bring disaster to Waldkirch. The burden of proof is overwhelming, she has been tried without trial and her execution is imminent.
But as a small group of the witches' committee, you are sceptical. Why was she condemned so quickly? What happened on that stormy day on the Kandel? Who is Margaretha really?
With her diary in hand, you set out to follow the accused witch's last disastrous course and find out the truth behind the evil accusations. But time is running out.
