After ten years away, John Carter returns to Mars only to materialize in the Valley Dor—the Martian afterlife from which no one may leave.

He must navigate deadly plant creatures, false deities, and warring factions while desperately searching for his beloved wife Dejah Thoris, who may have journeyed to find him.
