Coriander and the humble people of his township face annihilation at the hands of a band of masked oppressors…but the arrival of a mysterious visitor named Orion changes everything. Possessing extraordinary skills and wisdom, Orion is prepared to guide Coriander’s people to safety if they would but follow him.
With the guidance of a book only he can read, Orion asks them to join him in journeying into the cursed, uninhabited lands beyond the Ashwall; a land where the last great civilization mysteriously vanished. Within these lands, far from misery and war, Orion promises to establish a perfect city where all can finally live in peace.
