Then Wodi finds himself exiled into the wasteland, victim of a death sentence handed out for no reason that he can understand.

His journey through baking, wind-tortured deserts and poisoned oases wakes something up inside of him, and Wodi learns that the human spirit has strength that few can imagine… and also comes equipped with terrifying weapons that those who crossed him cannot even begin to comprehend.
