When Dick, a 34-year-old computer design engineer, accidentally falls through the wall of his hidden cave, his life takes an unexpected turn. He finds himself in a world, centuries beyond his own. Captured by Lady Guell and brought before her father, the king, Dick finds himself unable to speak the language of a strange medieval society built among the ruins of Earth. As he slowly learns their language, he uncovers the shocking truth: civilisation was destroyed long ago in a nuclear holocaust, and this new kingdom has risen from the ashes.

The powerful Council of Amulets believes Dick's arrival was foretold and that he holds the key to ending a generations-old war. Desperate to find a way home, Dick agrees to carry a fragile peace proposal into enemy territory. Beyond the guarded borders lie dangerous secrets, forgotten relics, and truths buried beneath ancient legends. And when he finally returns, treason threaten to destroy the kingdom from within.
