The Splinter came, and the world ended. Ryne Miller woke up five hundred years later. Now, all alone and with no one he knew left alive, he chances across humans among the concrete wilderness. And these aren't people like him. No, these are stone\-age like tribespeople \- three women whose tribe has been slaughtered by a Great Beast. They seek a Chieftain. One who can lead them into glory. One who can harness the power of the crystals and its magic\-giving mists. But tribespeople are not the only creatures who live and breath in this strange future. Crystal\-tainted monsters and far worse roam the lands, hunting their prey in the remains of what is now ancient civilization. If Ryne's second chance at life is to last more than a few days, he'll have to protect and nurture this new tribe from all who seek to harm it.

The last thing Ryne Miller expected when waking up after the world ended was to find himself the ruler of a tribe of beautiful women. Being the ruler isn’t all fun and games, though. It requires doing what needs to be done. To survive. After a confrontation with Kodi and the Kol'Tah, Ryne promises to kill Matoax and prove himself worthy of becoming a Warlord to unite the Do’dekkah and Kol'Tah. He must travel to the Kol'Tah lands with his tribe members to access the Magic Fount. If he’s successful, he’ll find himself with more power to protect his tribe and bring the conflicting groups together. Except the Magic Fount is not as it appears, and there are forces at work that would see Ryne fail. Permanently.

Ryne Miller woke up to an Earth he no longer recognized. It wasn’t long before he started to realize how much had changed, but also how much remained the same. The world might look different, but power still reigns supreme. And there is strength in numbers. Slowly but surely, Ryne is growing his tribe and expanding his influence. With old enemies rearing their heads, and more mysteries to uncover, he’ll have his hands more than full.
