Annon, the ascetic, is a disciplined spiritual seeker whose fate is intertwined with greater powers. Two lives are forced to experience the full range of human emotions and to rise above their circumstances. Shipwrecks, battles, and a spell-bound jackal navigate around a timeless love story between Elgin and Corina.
Elgin, with help from his wise teacher, must face his own demons while conquering his arch enemy.
