Three millennia from now, the people of Earth have been driven out by an unknown race of monsters. Those who have settled the world of Corterra have lived in relative peace for centuries, but now a new adversary has come. When his world is destroyed by the invaders, Karok O’Connor must lead what remains of the inhabitants back to the home world of myth. In the course of these wanderings, the Corterrans will suffer enslavement and persecution at the hands of the monsters. They will learn to separate the truths of their stories from the fabrications. The race of men will suffer until they can accomplish that which their forefathers failed to do and reclaim their heritage.
