Life is hard in the Pit-lands, a desert world filled with sand and scrub and little else. Living is no more than just surviving. As the summer sun sets on his work in the sparse fields he farms, Caide stumbles upon a relic from a time so long ago, the world he lives in has no name for it.
It is then his world is thrown into turmoil as the last of his family ties are brutally severed and he is left with nothing but his rage. With no future left to hold on to, Caide seeks revenge the only way he knows how; he vows to track down his father's killer and leave his home forever as he seeks a new life away from the pain.
