Van, a tall and indifferent swordsman, is on a quest to slay the killer of his fiancée. The only clue he has is that the culprit possesses a claw‑shaped arm, so he is called The Claw Man. While traveling through the misty roads of the kingdom, Van passes the town of Evergreen, a place that is under siege by brigands intent on seizing its treasury. In the market square he meets Wendy Garret, a shy girl who is desperately searching for her missing brother. When the townsfolk beg Van to help defend them, he declines, saying it is not his business and departs without a second thought. Shortly thereafter Van confronts the raiders; they provoke him enough that he retaliates in personal vengeance, striking down a few of them. Unexpectedly, Van discovers the bandits are linked to The Claw Man and that they abducted Wendy"s brother for an undisclosed motive. After dispatching the raiders with little trouble, Van and, to his dismay, Wendy resume their trek toward The Claw Man. They travel through dark forests and across crumbling bridges, each step bringing them closer to the truth. Unbeknownst to them, the man is entangled in a far graver plot than either could imagine, one that threatens not only their lives but the very fate of the realm.
