Jahrhunderts: Eine Pferdekutsche verunglückt im Wald, ein junger Reisender steigt aus dem Wrack und findet Kutscher und Pferde tief schlafend vor. Verwirrt stolpert er in den Wald, als aus der Dunkelheit kriegerische Schatten auf dunklen Rössern auftauchen. Als sie mit brennenden Pfeilen schießen, rennt er um sein Leben bis zu einem See. Er fällt hinein und landet in einer mittelalterlichen Stadt, die am Grunde des Sees liegt – und von den unheimlichen Kriegern bedroht wird.
