Khulani, a young warrior of the Imaziɣen tribe, lived a simple life following herds of Hartebeest across the endless grasslands known as the Ibhr Rrbi, that he called home. Already recognized by the elders of his village as a successful Hunt Master with the potential to be a great tribal leader one day, Khulani was content. His only trepidation was the Gathering in Tazallit lhnna that he would attend for the first time later that summer. This was where his tribe would formally recognize him as a man and a warrior. And then his world was inexplicably turned upside-down. From the dark and mysterious Uari Ljanub Mountain Range, a predatory beast with an appetite for human flesh brings terror and death to Khulani's village. During a violent confrontation with the unnatural creature, the young warrior discovers a new source of power within himself ? a gift he was only vaguely aware of growing up ? surging through him in the fight for his life and exposing even deeper mysteries that he could never have anticipated. As if the threat of a deranged carnivore were not enough, two mysterious strangers abruptly appear in his hour of need. Strange forces and a revelation that shake the whole of the Imaziɣen people instigates a series of events that sends Khulani on an expedition across two continents. He is bound to seek out answers far to the south that will test his gift and determine his fate. Along the way, Khulani will experience the strange ways of civilizations he knows little about. There are unexpected dangers outside the sheltered existence of tribal life that he must overcome to survive the journey and learn the truth of his destiny. What Khulani finds will change his life forever. An action-adventure epic fantasy set in North Africa during the time of Atlantis.
