But when he meets the young daughter of his intended victim, he ends up taking her under his wing and they are both taken on an epic journey.This fantasy adventure explores the aftermath of catastrophe, in a new world distant yet familiar to us. It questions duty, family and challenges beliefs—all through the eyes of three strangers who have no business coming together.
