Two lovers, brought together by a forbidden passion, are on the run from their pasts. Veraine was once a commander in the Imperial army; Myrna the divine priestess he seduced and stole from her desert temple. Traveling through a jungle kingdom, they fall prey to slavers and are separated. Myrna is taken to the city of Tiger Lords: inhuman tyrants with a taste for human flesh. Myrna still has faith that Veraine will find her - but, left for dead, he has forgotten everything. Still he journeys through a fevered landscape of promise and supernatural danger to find the unknown woman he longs for.
