The narrative explores themes of power, identity, and survival against a backdrop of a richly imagined world filled with fantastical elements, focusing on characters Ciaran and Mouse as they face the threat posed by the androids created by the boy-god Bas, who is asleep with a mysterious power. As the story unfolds, they find themselves fighting against malevolent forces and dark legends that threaten their existence. At the start of the story, Ciaran and Mouse, two wandering mortals, set up camp in a desolate land bordering the infamous Forbidden Plains. Their banter reveals their complex relationship and hints at deeper fears of the rumored darkness and evil surrounding them—specifically the dreadful Kalds that bear servitude to Bas, the so-called immortal presence rumored to guard the Stone of Destiny. An ominous shadow manifests as inherent dangers appear, drawing them deeper into the unfolding legends that may alter their fates and the fate of their world, setting the stage for an epic conflict against the forces of subjugation stemming from Bas's immortal legacy.
