What do you do with someone who is spoiled, incorrigible, and too used to having his own way? Answer: Transfer him to a world that is backwards, puzzling, dangerous, and just might hold the key to immortality. Thrust between religious zealots, a curious dungeon keeper, an out-of-place, controlling female from his own people (who can't seem to let well enough alone), and a populace that literally stinks--literally--he has to find out how it all ties together. Only what he seems to be doing is pushing everyone towards a civil war!
