The Desians are bad news;
everyone knows it, and no one is willing to do anything about it.
No one except the citizens of Palmacosta. Fed up with the
abuse and tyranny these brave citizens, under the leadership of
Governor-General Dorr, form a militia to fight the Desians.
The only problem is that they don't realize that Dorr is actually
working for the Desians because they took his wife. On a
"training exercise" they are ambushed and taken to the human ranches
where they will be used to cultivate exspheres.
Devon RIte'n is a member of
the militia, but his is a special case. The Desians chose him
to cultivate a special exshpere called a cruxis crystal. But
Devon escapes. Fueled by righteous rage and the need for
justice he sets out to rescue his comrades and find the traitor -
and then make the Desians pay. But first there's the immediate
problem of saving himself from the parasitic crystal on his left
hand... Oh, and avoiding the Desians, because they want their
'project' back something awful.
That's how he ends up with a
nineteen year old girl as a traveling companion. And a centuries
old elf. And a few other odd allies. And, of course, there
is still the whole issue of the Chosen and her party, because the only
one who could help Devon with the exsphere was Dirk, who asked Devon to
find his son and make sure the boy was alright. And since Dirk's
son is Lloyd, who travels with the Chosen, things are bound to get
interesting.
