Synopsis ~

Naill Renfro is working as a slave laborer for the farm colonizers of Janus when he discovers a forbidden treasury which lures him into the planet’s towering forest. There Naill is mysteriously transformed into the tree dweller Ayyar of Iftcan and fights a strange fight to regenerate the ancient race. Brought to life through his metamorphosis, he could remember only faintly his life as Naill Renfro, and could barely comprehend the race he’d become part of. All he knew was what the Iftin allowed him to sense - and what he sensed was more terrifying than anything he’d ever known.
