In the shadow of a forgotten temple, Den witnesses a ritual that upends his understanding of the world—watching as priestesses and lizard men prepare a sacrifice, he intervenes to save a woman from the altar. When he learns she, too, is from Earth, though in a different body, their shared origin becomes a fragile thread in a world ruled by a sorceress and hunted by rebels led by the enigmatic Gel.
