From the wreckage emerges a man from another world, Kainan, a humanoid warrior, and a deadly stowaway, the Moorwen, a savage creature hell-bent on avenging the acts of Kainan’s army. Marooned on this alien planet, which is centuries behind his own civilization, Kainan sets out to track down and defeat his nemesis.
