There’s a sliver of hope, though, because Rogaan is occasionally capable of feats of great strength and violence. It’s a quest that doesn’t seem likely to succeed-particularly after Rogaan and company become prisoners themselves. Rogaan and others are on their way to free their parents from their captors in the city of Farratum. Here, the narrative picks up where the series’ first installment left off. Just as all seems lost for Nikki and her fellow passengers, readers are transported back to ancient times-specifically, Rogaan and Aren’s era, which features ferocious beasts and complex civilizations. ![]() ![]() It’s not long before futuristic goons known as Tyr Soldiers board the Wind Runner, looking to seize its strange cargo: two unconscious, seemingly non-human beings from a time long ago, named Rogaan and Aren. ![]() It’s soon apparent, though, that such maneuvers are for naught.
