Ayla, last of the Ayili race. Displaced seven thousand years from her own time, she lived in secrecy deep in the great woods, in the quiet shadow of the Kanai Mountains. But that was a peace not to last, as humans encroach nearer by the day, Ayla finds she must join them, or be consumed.

As the human nations grow, tensions arise, and war brews on the horizon. Charon, creation of the mad Jolin's twisted mind, sets out to create the world that is denied her, hell on earth.

Quietly, as the lines are drawn, Ayla sets out on a quest to find the lost Inconnuit, the weapon that was to be her peoples' salvation, may instead save the ancestors of the people it was meant to destroy.
