Germany, 1582.
Renowned artist Theobald Breitsam is found dead in his workshop, surrounded by occult symbols and hundreds of black feathers. His body is covered in wounds - but they were made by no blade. They were inflicted by something that should not be possible.

The city council already has a suspect accused of witchcraft and is pressing for a swift verdict before panic spreads.

Conrad is the town's executioner. His duty is to carry out sentences - not to question them.

But something is terribly wrong.

Is it witchcraft? Superstition? Or is there a truth behind these events that defies every rational explanation?

The deeper Conrad digs, the less human this case becomes.

As the town's executioner, Conrad belongs to the so-called "dishonourables" - people forced to live on the fringes of society. Feared. Shunned. Yet indispensable.

Precisely because of this, doors open to him that remain closed to everyone else. He speaks with beggars and patricians, prisoners and priests. He moves between taverns, prison cells and council chambers, following a trail of contradictions and carefully concealed secrets.

Executioner Conrad knows the darkest sides of human nature. But this time, he is facing something darker still.

Someone - or something - is watching him.
