Two hundred years ago, a mysterious manuscript was discovered about a headless rider haunting a secluded little hollow, deep in the wilderness of the Hudson Valley. The terror leapt off those pages and encircled the world, at once becoming a legend.

But there was another tale-a tale of a more ancient demon. This one moved silently and invisibly in the night. It was more ethereal, and it was more deadly. The only known description was written more than a century ago as the last testament of a dying hermit. The account was lost, and the demon was forgotten-until now.
