Chapter 1 - I Will Kill You at the Edge of the World

The last remnant of mankind struggles to survive. Their world consists of a village on a mesa surrounded by sands scorched by an empty red sky. The Old Man, the mystical leader of the tribe, teaches that "the weak must die so that the strong may live." Mithash, one of the tribe's hunters, challenges the tribe's dogma, hoping to find a greater truth.

*Under the Red Sky* will be the first installment in what will become *The Mithras Cycle*, an introductory series for the world of Eoroth.

I think of the story as being *Conan the Barbarian* meets Camus's *The Stranger*. I'm eager to hear what you think!
