A cursed wanderer’s desperate sprint across a demon-haunted desert to save three Spirit-scarred sisters, battling monstrous shadows and his own tragic past for redemption.

In the sun-scorched vastness of the Skræling Steppe, where shadows cast long and treacherous webs, a cursed wanderer known as Runs-in-the-Sun flees his shade now possessed by a malignant Spirit. Once a dreamer who wished an oasis for his village, his ambition unleashed a cataclysm that reduced his home to dust and his body to a prickly, poisonous cactus. Pursued by his past and haunted by Demons, he races across the desert, his only solace the bitter fruit that grows from his own flesh.

When Runs-in-the-Sun stumbles upon a slave cart carrying three Spirit-scarred sisters, he’s drawn into a battle far greater than his own survival. Amidst a brutal clash between barbaric tribesmen, he seizes the chance for redemption, stealing the sisters from their captors.

Will his relentless sprint outpace the Demons of the Steppe, or will his shadow finally claim him and all he seeks to protect?
