THE WARP ORPHAN RETURNS

In the blink of an eye, and very much against his will, T. K. is warped into a strange alien landscape with two suns, one red and one blue. Soon he encounters a warrior priest known as the Reverent Lord Enrique, the Shoutte of the Shoutte. Realizing the young man is a warp orphan, the cleric decides to be his guide. Day by day, T. K. begrudgingly comes to admire this strange and exotic world. A world filled with both beauty and danger to included the Royal Usurper who will stop at nothing to find and destroy him.
