Plot Summary

The story unfolds in a primitive, alien jungle realm inhabited by a fierce tribal society. The aging chieftain, Enor, has led his people for many seasons. He protects them using a legendary, mystical blade known as the Skinbreaker, but his failing strength means he can now barely lift it.

Enor tries to pressure his capable son and reluctant heir, Anok, into challenging him for leadership before the tribe treats his physical weakness as a shame. While a violent internal power struggle begins to brew over ownership of the blade, an even larger, monstrous threat looms in the darkness just outside their village walls
