Set in the late 1400s, Riftworld Legends revolves around two young mariners left for dead on an island somewhere in the North Atlantic-or so they think. Only as the hostile landscape reveals itself to be full of magical power and mythical beasts do they realize they've left their own world entirely. What begins as a struggle for survival concludes in this epic saga of worlds colliding as the two wayward seamen must embrace new heroic roles or perish in the trying. From the comic: "In the age of Discovery, explorers searching for India stumbled on the mythical lost continent of Hy-Breasal. When two seamen are marooned on its hostile and uncharted shores, their struggle for survival becomes an epic, sprawling adventure. This is the secret history of our world's collision with a fantastical realm of monsters and magic at the dawn of the Renaissance. It is the story of the ordinary men and women who crossed between worlds, destined to become heroes.".
