Larna’s space shuttle, that she used to escape from the Overlord’s prison, runs out of fuel. She is forced to crash land on a strange forest planet. After only a short time there she meets a strange old man, who claims that he can help her, in exchange for her killing a few people for him. Larna refuses. The old man transforms in a cloud of smoke into a tall, elegant, sorcerer dressed in a long dark cloak. He makes six men appear instantly out of fresh air. They attack Larna without warning. Larna fights back, as normal, until the sorcerer hits her with a strange black beam. The more she fights, the weaker she feels. The men secure her in chains, then under the instruction on the sorcerer drag Larna off to the nearest city.
The men take her to what looks like a school. It turns out to be a tortuous slave training camp, before a collar was permanently locked around her throat. She was taken to a market and sold. Her owners treated her badly. Raping her and beating her for the slightest little thing. Kept in just a slip, which was like a maid’s outfit. Slept in barn, chained to the wall so she would not escape. The tiny farm that was her home was on the edge of the city. Larna stayed there for at least a month, until Amazons from the North raided the place. Larna helped them so they took her back to the forests of their home realm. Larna needs no training. She just wants the collar taken off her neck. When that is done the Amazons give her a new outfit. The outfit that she is given consists of a mixture of leather and chain mail. Leather boots, with daggers on the sides. Legs bare from middle of shin up to middle of thigh. Short leather mini-skirt, held up by a strong broad belt with little silver circles on which are explosive devices. Leather corset around waist, with chain mail over the top. Emphasises bosom more by lifting it up. Top covered by chain mail up to neck. Leather band up her forearms. Arms bare except for them. Bands attached with tiny fasteners around her middle fingers. Boomerang shaped weapon at her left side. Broad sword on her right. Larna only has one thing on her mind. To get revenge on the Warlock who tricked her in the first place.
Larna goes to a lush green valley as the first place for her search. A sparkling white castle sits on the far hillside of the valley as she looks. From the news that she has heard, there is a high reward being offered by the King if the right person comes along to help him get rid of a certain sorcerer.
Darius, the Warlock, wants to take over the Kingdom for himself. He has kidnapped the King’s daughter. Larna volunteers to go and rescue the Princess from the Warlock’s Dark Heart castle, which lies in the middle of the City Of The Dead…a place which, if any living being steps on the earth, they are killed instantly. The Warlock creates an evil clone of the Princess and tricks Larna into taking the clone back to the King. That clone has one mission, to kill the King so that the way is clear for the Warlock.
Places that Larna visits on her way include:
The Warrior Inn: This is a wooden building, which is the home for all of the Warriors of the land. They come to talk over their latest victories, or the last battle they fought in. It is a place to drink and meet old comrades. Larna, has no old comrades, but she always goes to this place to listen to the gossip and the news…just to keep her ear in to the latest happenings going on around her. She is the only woman to ever go to this place, but the men, having heard of her feats, stay away from her…for the most part anyway. Some try to test out her skills, but they soon regret the attempt.
Village Of The Slaves: This is a village of old slaves, old people who have been ‘retired’ from the slave market. Larna hates this place because it brings back bad memories of her previous experiences on this planet.
While in this village, she meets with an Oracle who tells her that there is a way to get back to Earth and her own dimension, but she needs to get the Warlock’s magic staff to help create a Vortex of Fog. Time is short as well, because it could only be carried out on a full moon.
She meets the 3 Outcasts here. They are travellers who had been forced out of every village that they have tried to settle in. They are all around the same age, middle twenties. The first is a talented musician who can charm the birds out of the trees with his singing and playing. He longs to just sit and play music all day long and do very little else. The second is especially good with machines. He is the conscientious one in the group. Always likes to work hard and plan things. The third is a writer. He is a dreamer, who loves nothing better than to write out stories of adventure and heroism. The three of them, seeing opportunity in front of them when they meet Larna, decide to follow her on her adventure to rescue the Princess.
Larna is forced into going back to the Dark Heart lair of the Warlock to save the real Princess, before she is married to the Warlock and the Warlock takes over her mind and soul with an evil spell. Larna also wants to get the Warlock to send her back to Earth, the planet that she came from. The Warlock tricks her and sends to right across the realm to the eastern lands, where she faces another mystical battle. Larna is even more determined to get revenge on him now.
