In a town deep in the Mountain Region, a young boy, Akiro, experiences his first encounter with the dark forces that inhabit the Outer Lands, an incident that is destined to change the course of his life forever. 

Meanwhile, a runaway from Eden, the utopian city housing only the rich and human, must survive the Waste, a barren and dangerous desert in an attempt to escape the hauntings of her own past.
