In the depths of an ancient temple a child is born beneath the auspice of a cosmic phenomenon.

Within a gleaming city set between sea and sand, the fate of two nations - one civil and one savage - rests upon the back of the city's young Black Princess, Karmagant Ak'an. Her destiny tied to that of her protector, Suzurain Ashaeru, a young Black man as unprepared for what lies ahead as she. The two stand together in the face of a wild land of inhospitable extremes, unpredictable gods and demons, and most threatening: the divided people demanding their fealty and guidance.
