Stories
- The Devil's Knight · 22 pages
A Hellspawn comes to the English village of Rhyll, looking to find a hint of who he is and what he has become. What he finds instead is gross injustice and a people oppressed by Baron Rivalen. He intervenes in a clash between a common peasant and Rivalin's captain-at-arms, Guy DuBlanc, and slices up the vain man's face. He then approaches a crumbling castle that seems familiar where he is greeted by a garrulous stranger.

Publisher’s description
The Black Knight, known as Lord Covenant when he left to fight in the Crusades, has made a painful and gruesome return from the grave. Amidst his confusing return, he immediately unleashes his anger on Baron Rivalen's Captain of Arms, Guy DuBlanc, in revenge for injustices served upon the poor unfortunate peasants. Later, when the Black Knight returns to his crumbling castle, he is met by his time-honored mentor, Cogliostro.
