An abandoned West hauls himself through a brutal winter with nothing but a bitter heart and a stubborn donkey named Jenny. As he chases the bloody trail of the legendary Red Dragon, the rumors growing in its wake are more nightmare than myth. With every charred village and whispered horror, West is forced to face a terrifying question: Is he hunting for the man he once called a friend, or the monster the blade has made of him?
