Once a mercenary of Queen Elizabeth I fighting Ottomans in Africa, Solomon met the Devil's Reaper and discovered he was bound for Hell. Barely escaping, he soon renounced violence to atone for his past sins, seeking out redemption in a life of peace. That is until the followers of the sorcerer Malachi kidnap a Puritan girl, Meredith Crowthorn, and brutally slaughter her family before his eyes, forcing Solomon to take up arms and return to his violent ways once more to rescue her.—corsos, corrected by Pike84
Based on stories by Robert E. Howard, Solomon Kane is a bloodthirsty English pirate who, after taking an Ottoman city in northern Africa, loses his soul to the devil. Kane renounces violence and retires to a monastery in England, struggling to live as a man of peace since then, to atone for his sins. Soon the evil reaches him though, forcing him to come back to the fight.—Arthur King, corrected by Pike84
