Investigation reveals the entire garrison slaughtered to a man, and the besieging barbarians as well, strewn about the charnel-house castle with their hearts cut out.

What terrors may arise when the fires of courage turn to hate and the battlements run red with Hero's Blood? Hero's Blood is a Pathfinder Roleplaying Game adventure for 4-6 10th-level characters.
