Mankind’s folly has led to the downfall of civilization. The planet has become a place of chaos, where humans must fight for their lives against intelligent machines and mysterious mutants.

The spirit of the earth has re-awakened to reclaim its power. It is now incarnated in the form of enormous animal gods, each of which is pursuing a different goal. Each god is linked to a human companion who accompanies it on its quest.

Yunze, the dog god who has sworn to protect humans, has allied himself with the young warrior Eji. Together, they set off in search of Nay, a little girl upon whom the fate of the world depends. But first they will have to confront Amrath, the pitiless panther ; Uok, the fanatical condor ; and the serpent Tone-Teth, messenger of destruction.
