Fiery, brash young schoolboy Annakara, better known to his buddies as Ann, has lived in the idyllic Cairn Isles his whole life. Here, things are quiet and simple - but he's restless.

Ann yearns to see the world with his own eyes and feels out of place at home. When an opportunity presents itself, he takes it and runs away.

He falls in with a band of rough-riding outlaws and finds himself on a far-reaching adventure through foreign shores, exotic ports, and savage nature, all the while grappling with his identity and who he is.

He'll live hard, seeing danger and beauty in measures far above anything at home - and he'll find his place, growing from a boy into a man.
