About Zeno Clash
In the land of Zenozoik, the city of Halstedom is ruled by a powerful clan, one
which Ghat has betrayed by committing a terrible sin. Now, Ghat’s brothers and
sisters are pursuing him and his companion Deadra through strange and twisted
lands, beyond the boundaries of the sane to the ends of the world. What was
Ghat’s crime and why did he commit it? The bare-knuckled brawl to reach the
truth has just begun.
