Shern and Aler - two otherworldly forces for which the earthly kingdoms and their rulers are just a means for eternal struggle with each other - are waging the last, most brutal battle for the sake of possessing the world. The only person who is able to stop the massacre is the guardian of the laws, the immortal bearer of knowledge, who was once walled up in one of the dungeons of the former capital of Grombelard. But even he is unable to avert the threat of death from the world if the dark forces are the first to present him with a symbol of power, which is none other than the criminal princess Ridareta, sorceress and murderer.
