The planet Molon is invaded by an ancient enemy from the time of legend that they thought long destroyed. The kingdom of Disath finds a prophesy about the invasion and a hero. However, to understand the prophesy, they turn to the feared "Witch Queen" who lives in a secluded fortress. Veris, the prince, goes to the Witch Queen to ask for help against the coming invasion. He leaves behind the little sister he adores. However, the Witch isn't known for being charitable. As he talks to the Witch, the invasion starts and he fears for his sister's safety. The Witch Queen helps Veris find his sister and liberate his homeland. Having once been a slave, the Witch knows what its like to suffer and to her own surprise, will do anything to prevent others from suffering as she once had. Jira, Veris's sister, finds great strength through her suffering and starts to eclipse her own hero brother. Who is really the hero and who exactly is the Witch Queen? This is a Golden Age of sci-fi/fantasy homage with space battles, sword fights, power armor, slaves, wastelanders and androids.
