About this title

Synopsis

A quest for our beginnings and beyond. In a future so distant that Earth has become only a legend and its very name corrupted Xarth, a beautiful young woman -- blue-black of skin, silver of hair -- is left alone in the dark age civilization that is all that remains of a once-mighty culture. She is forced by circumstances to accompany a star traveler in a quest on whose outcome rests not only knowledge of the origins of mankind but also the last, best hopes of its future.
