After escaping a life of slavery, the Taerwyn nomad Brego crosses the wastelands fleeing slavers, bounty hunters, and other nefarious threats. As he sheds the iron bonds of his youth, Brego searches for something he has never known: a home. In the process he finds something he never expected to find: a family. Allying with an assortment of unsavory misfits, Brego must fight his way across the badlands to find the Taerwyn of the Great Sand Sea.

Here, Brego seeks to rejoin the people of his blood: the blood of the desert.
