Synopsis

On the rogue planet Worlorn, drifting irreversibly away from its suns into cold darkness, a man named Dirk t'Larien answers a desperate call from his former lover and arrives to find a dying world of empty cities and clashing alien cultures. Entangled in the violent honor codes of the Kavalar warriors and haunted by a love he cannot reclaim, Dirk must navigate betrayal and bloodshed as the planet itself expires around him.
