After his oil rig is met with disaster, Nika wakes with no memory of who or where he is. Guided by a talking cat, he quickly learns that he's a stranger to the land and must try to find a way home.

The only one who can help is King To'Rel, but instead of helping, he sends Nika on a dangerous journey to advance his political standing.

Nika must find the descendant of a bloodline thought to be extinct and ensure that the prophecy of Ayrillis is brought to fruition. Along the way, he must also deal with being hunted, forbidden love, mancery, and gods he's never heard of.

Will Nika and his new friends find the blood descendant in time, or will ancient evil foil their plans?
