In sixth-century England, the war between the native Britons and the Saxon invaders seemed to have ended—peace descended upon the land, and the two communities lived side by side in peaceful coexistence for decades. But at the same time, a strange "mist of oblivion" filled the valleys of England, swallowing the villagers' memories and rendering their lives a meaningless daydream. An elderly British couple, desperate to find their son, now vaguely remembered, before their memories vanished, embarked on a arduous journey. They longed for the mist to lift, for memories of their lifelong love—but this tranquil mist concealed a dark and bloody past: a giant, buried decades earlier by the unethical methods of King Arthur. A mysterious Saxon warrior arrived in this seemingly peaceful valley on a mission. What hidden motives lay behind his unassuming exterior? Would his mission bring the land an olive branch of forgiveness or the sword and fire of vengeance? Gawain, King Arthur's last knight, is determined to protect the king's legacy with his own life, because protecting it means protecting the final peace. Memory and forgiveness, revenge and peace, the fates of these four people are inevitably intertwined, and there is only one ending.
