Years ago a slave boy unearthed religious writings while digging in a hellish desert. Now he veils his face and declares himself The Anointed One of The Grefar Prophecy. He's a soul-possessing dictator on the verge of achieving universal domination. He seeks to clone supernatural space beings that he believes are the key to his messianic arrival, his "Coming," which he expects to occur at the legendary and remote planet Esslia. The Queen of Esslia heads an all female monarchy, and, like almost all of her subjects, she worships Esslian religion.

Her new allies include a crafty former jewel merchant whom she entrusts with the rescue of her beloved daughter, Princess Myla. She also shares Esslia's highly advanced "stopwatch" technology. Still she keeps secrets involving lust and divine will that her telepathic mind cannot forever subdue
