El monte de las ánimas
Es la noche del 1 de noviembre en Soria, una pequeña ciudad de Castilla. Las campanas de las iglesias suenan sin parar. Un grupo de cazadores vuelve a la ciudad después de cazar lobos en el monte. Con ellos van Alonso, un joven noble, y su prima Beatriz, una chica muy guapa que vive desde hace poco con la familia de Alonso.
—Volvamos rápido —dice Alonso—. Esta noche no es buena para estar en el Monte de las Ánimas.
Beatriz no entiende por qué. Entonces Alonso le cuenta la leyenda…
