When he fails to help curb the worldwide pandemic in the 21st Century, time-traveling healer Torak loses confidence in himself. When his boss Master Healer Robbikan sends him back in time to help with a plague that is sweeping the land of Anon, Torak vows to do better with this second chance. In Anon, he meets good people like the innkeepers Gwene and her husband Axande, and their daughter Lillen and her friend Jana. He also meets bad people like the highwayman Zork and his two ruthless henchmen. Torak succeeds in healing the sick and becomes instrumental in helping defend against the bad guys. He regains his confidence. However, the evil Zorandon rules the land. He is a sadistic human being whose only pleasure is inflicting pain and suffering on others. When Torak takes on two young girls as assistants who are Trorcs (half-troll and half-orc) who have escaped torture and certain death at the hand of the evil king, life becomes complicated. It's made even more so when Zorandon becomes ill with the plague and calls for Torak. It is then the healer must make a fateful decision: should he try to heal the psychotic ruler or let him die? They are two tough choices, made even tougher because Torak knows whatever he decides, he and his friends must live with the consequences.
