N'ni has been a stray his whole life, struggling to find "home" in a society where his people are treated as slaves...
Once, the the frozen north belonged to a race of people called the Gla-ki. They were adapted to live in the harsh environment, living secluded from the rest of the world in small tribes.
That was...until the Warm Bloods came.
They brought with them nothing but enslavement and death. Entire clans were slaughtered...families separated...innocents killed. It wasn't long until the north belonged only to the Warm Bloods, and the Gla-ki were no more than servants...
N'ni was only a child when they came for his clan. He knows that the Warm Bloods took away his people. He knows that they led to his life as a stray. Being a Gla-ki prince in their world means nothing...
When Hawa, a young Gla-ki messenger, first saw N'ni, the boy was half dead, stricken with fever. Driven by the spirit of their homeland, Hawa takes N'ni and runs from his master, desperate to save his people. Together, the two search for a place to call "home" in a society that has no place for them.
N'ni, a lost prince...Hawa, half crippled...Both are strays.
