For many years the ancient race of centaurs were said to be extinct. Born from unholy trysts between human and horse, most were executed in the witch hunts of the 1600s. Thou shalt not suffer a centaur to live.
But now they're returning. It's 1908 and after three hundred years, mares are giving birth to foals with human torsos. They speak and think like humans but gallop free with horses. No one knows what to do with them, and it seems rather brutal to just execute them for nothing other than existing.
Most of the centaurs have migrated to an island a few miles off of Germany. Centellion Forest is huge, untamed, and unexplored - just the place for human half-breeds.
The centaurs are aware that they're freaks. They just want to live a normal life far out from civilization. They aren't threats to humans, so the government sees no need to exterminate them. But if word gets out that centaurs exist again, there will be hell for this new race to pay.
Some centaurs think that humans should be forced out of Europe so that the hybrids will have a haven where no pure-blood humans can get to them. They think that humans are nuisances and that the witch hunts will only happen again.
Others think that humans should be allies, that they can help the floundering centaurs to survive in their haven.
Meanwhile, strange things are happening in Centellion Forest, and when a newborn foal is found, dead from hundreds of knife wounds, the centaurs know that something isn't right...
