The edge of the known world is a place of raw, vibrant beauty-but soon it will become the bloodiest of battlefields-in this thrilling grimdark adventure.
Simmering with the pain of loss, the warrior known as He-Dog and his silent, disfigured companion Chop are the last two survivors of the fallen city of Foust. Pursued by ruthless beastmen, former slaves of the Zuthenian Empire, they fight to stay alive in the unforgiving land of Big Rock. Their only hope: travel across the ocean to the mysterious jungle island of the Sanjou-a place untouched by time-following whispers of an unfathomable treasure. But they are not alone.
Physically and emotionally scarred by recent battles and still mourning the loss of his brother Balless, He-Dog carries a weary determination to survive. Can he and Chop overcome their inner demons and unite against a relentless enemy? In a world ravaged by violence and despair, they will need to become . . . savage.
From the author of the Mountain Man and Breeds series comes the epic second chapter of the adventure that began with White Sands, Red Steel.
