Love and Death in the City of Bone

By Raymund Eich

Decades ago, we made our separate ways to the desert planet of Elard. We shared a common purpose: enlighten the planet's low-tech, violent aliens with our different paths of uplift. Though we served different ideals, we became friends... until our friendship dissolved into illicit affairs.

And an unexplained disappearance.

Now, I return to Elard.

Older, yes.

Wiser?

I hope.

I've got only thirty days to solve mysteries buried in the planet's vast desert. And reveal the hidden agenda of the only woman I ever loved.

A woman loyal to violent forces who'll do whatever it takes to stop me from finding the truth.
