One man, one woman, and a ravenous band of lust-wraiths – Let the games begin!… Eric is such a dreamer. On the outside he looks like a superman.

A fantasy fable for all ages... In the mythical land of Lor, King Markus calls for a great race. Whosoever wins will be declared his successor, the heir to the throne. Quite a prize.
