However, no one dared to follow his decree for the heath meant certain death and was considered a place haunted by ravenous wolves, highwaymen and brutal and unforgiving nature.
By 1755, lone solder Ludvig Kahlen rold into the heath in a stubborn pursuit of a lifelong dream, determined to reach his goal: The heath would either bring him wealth and honor or would get the better of him.King’s Land is expected to begin shooting on September 5 in Denmark, Germany and the Czech Republic.
