Carmen, Sister-heir of a wealthy manor, leaves her privileged life to honor her father's last request-to save a codebook. It implicates the priesthood in a plot to create a doomsday weapon and establish a theocracy. Desperate to protect the codebook, Carmen allies with Aton, a mutant warrior with extrasensory ability from a neighboring hostile land. His drive to provide a better life for his people earns Carmen's admiration as she sees the misery in his mythical lands. He's convinced their destiny is together, but she can't see a future with him, a hated mutant, a killer, unless he wins her heart.
