A warrior in exile seeks a path home. Banished from his homeland, a warrior of the Northern Clans grows weary of life in a harsh, alien land. With the dark god Morrigu haunting his dreams, and a desert princess as a companion, Culainn, a warrior and champion, sets forth on a journey north in search of a merchant's daughter abducted by clansmen and taken back across the mountains.

Through a land baked by a scorching sun, where bandits roam free and dark beasts stalk the night, an ancient evil is rising from the desert. A Benouin myth of a ghost city, inhabited by the souls of their ancestors, serves as a bridge to the Underworld, unleashing demonic creatures on an unsuspecting world.

Culainn and Persha, warrior and mage, stand alone against a tide of darkness. All the while, Morrigu, the dark war god of the north, seeks to use Culainn as her own tool, her own champion.
