Unnervingly Magical, Unforgivingly Real

In the darkness of a jungle ritual is reborn the Outsider, Rihsan, to answer the call of the human tribes in their slave revolution.

Possessing the body of a young boy in a slave colony, this soul will take a journey of magical realism from second birth to final death. He will fight for himself as well as others in a spiritual war for identity. And, with his first life fading away, Rihsan will be forced to choose how to live with the consequences of wishing for a second chance.

Will the Outsider be able to free his people of the present, or will he succumb to the looming nostalgia for his past?
Come and see.
