[Ella Bandita and the Wanderer 01] • The Bard Speaks

From the fireside, the Bard weaves tales for the village children. His favorite villainess is Ella Bandita, the predatory seductress notorious for manipulating the weaknesses of licentious men and stealing their hearts. The Bard's grandson grows up with the stories of Ella Bandita's conquests: the Gambling Man, the Rogue, the Charmer. As he approaches manhood, he must find his own destiny away from his grandfather and the village, away from the tales of the infamous Thief of Hearts. But in the woods of a new land he meets a strange woman. In the face of desire, will he remember his grandfather's warning? "Always remember. Follow your heart."
