Description

A dying bearded giant, Thymar Ormondy, breathes his last warning to his son Nathan: the legendary Seven Jewels of Chamar are a curse as much as a promise of godlike power. The jewels—glowing like distant suns—have already driven men to madness and murder, and a ruthless being known as the Firebird will kill a thousand for each one she claims. Nathan, fresh from the rain‑soaked caves of Venus, inherits not only his father’s dying breath but the desperate urge to uncover the truth behind the murder and the glittering artifacts.

Joined by his father's loyal companion Tabor and a pair of Aquatown police, Nathan sets out on a perilous hunt across alien landscapes. He must decide whether to chase the murderous Firebird, wrestle with the seductive lure of the jewels, or let the deadly secret stay buried. The first act throws him into a world of ancient myths, deadly rivalries, and a promise that holding all seven could make a man the master of the universe—if he can survive long enough to claim them.
