Il Sigillo Nero

From the darkest depths of Wales an ancestral horror has emerged: the Tylwyth Teg, the Little People of legends, escaped from the underground world of Annwn, in which they had been locked up a thousand and a thousand years ago. It is the Tylwyth Teg, together with a terrible lake creature, that torment the mining village of Llandegant, in the Snowdonia region, where Harlan and Tesla arrive in search of the writer Dolly MacLaine, who seems to have vanished into thin air. Grappling with the monstrous and bloodthirsty demons, the dampyr and his adventure companion will soon discover that the Little People are not as jovial as fairy tales say.

Fortunately for the reckless scholar, Amber Tremayne's protective shadow lies over him, as well as that of a born fighter like Kurjak. The game played in the village of Llandegant between the infernal hordes of Annis the Black and the team formed by Harlan, Tesla and Amber will have its epilogue right in the well beneath Dynas Emreys, where it is said that, in a remote era, the cruel Vortigern wanted to fall, to seal a pact with the dark forces, a young warrior, born to the Roman-British leader Macsen Wledig and a woman of nature demonic: Emrys, called by the Romans Aurelius Ambrosio, half-brother of Artos, who in the years to come will be known by the name of Arthur
